Well that would explain the over 2 inches of rain we’ve had here in the desert in SE Washington this October!
We had some really, really weird rain events this summer. Remember the spring rains in Texas? The flooding rains in WV, Ellicot City MD, Baton Rouge? Here in VA Beach (officially at the airport) we got 6.98 inches in about 90 minutes in July. That was one helluva rain storm.
