Last July & August NH came within a 1/2” of setting new records for the amount of rain ever measured in those months.
I sucked. I had to mow my lawn every three to four days just to keep up.
This July is more normal. It has rained twice in the last three weeks. We had to start watering young fruit trees and bushes to keep them alive. Yesterday and the day before we had thunderstorms. On Tuesday night we got a severe thunderstorm. There was a micro burst in the town next door that took down a lot of trees. They thought it might have been a tornado at first. The sky was orange. It rained a .6” in about 15 minutes. Torrential rain.
In 2005 I visited Minnesota. I was driving back from a lake 180 miles north of Minneapolis, Minnesota when it started to rain. I had a great view of the lightning lighting up the sky the whole way : )
By the time I got to the hotel it had rained 12” locally and the nearby creek was flooding. The next day it was back to normal levels.
In Woodland Hills, Calif they had something like 20” in 1 day.
