I have installed weewx and the only easy to grab real life data was from
a Rainwise Mark III receiver in an IP-100 device that I have.
All went smoothly and I am very happy, until it rained.
I haven't had rain in the last few days, but may have some in the next
few to test it again, but, as I said every other data point looks good
and plots well.
When it rains I get enormous rain rates, like 1500 " / hour, and those
values go along with tens of inches of rain being accumulated.
The rain graph shows bar graphs, which I assume are for the individual
hours, rather than a more traditional line or bar grouping that rises
over time showing the accumulation.
Since the Rainwise.net site for my ip-100 shows all data being correct
and in agreement with the console for the Mark III Oracle, I assume that
I haven't gotten something set up right for the rain portion of the
WeeWx or driver.
Does this trigger any sort of ideas from those here using this driver?
When it rains again, what logs or parts of records might I look to in
order to see what I have wrong or needs adjusting?

The driver is simply incorrect for rain.
I have it fixed in my fork, but you would need to be running WeeWX 4 to use it.
If you aren’t running WeeWX 4 (to be released real soon now), but you feel comfortable coding, you could back port the rain changes. The changes might be more easily discovered if you look at the pull request I sent to Matthew at:
Cheers,
John
