This kind of rain has to be seen to be believed.
Dude, you better believe it! It came down so hard, it woke me up, and I sleep like a hibernating bear.
The funny part is that while it woke up the humans in the house, the livestock snoozed right through it. I was peering at the clock trying to get my eyes to focus, and the Dread Boston Salty let out a big snooooore - I cracked up!
In some areas, the rain has come down at a rate of three inches per hour. In one area of Sulphur, rainfall was recorded at 12 inches per hour.
The above from the Sulphur LA area.... It's hard to believe but it happens and thankfully it only does that for a portion of the hour. Or, in cases where I've seen it happen it will deluge you for a period of time then slack off, but it comes down so fast that it can't run off fast enough. In this flat land country that is what causes the flooding so rapidly.
