Ive been stymied in finding local rainfall totals since thursday.
perhaps its move by the local papers to SELL papers
publish them only in their print versions and not make them available online.
Its been better than five inches...that I know of But I had to empty my collector for fear it would fall off the balcony due to weight.
two inches in the last eight hours is the only data I can find as yet
Don’t know about local rainfall totals, never bother with it. I don’t read let alone buy papers, they’re a joke around here. Rain was coming down hard last night, real stormy. I look at forecasts, have apps on my iPad, but never concerned about what transpired before today. These droughts happen on a cyclic basis, been one about every dozen years as far back as I can recall. In stormy years they’re forgotten. The water crisis is a political fabrication, water fights been going on for 150 years or so in California. The farmers get shafted while L.A. splurges. Water going to the fish would be a non-issue if not for the diversion of water to the south for L.A.
Where in California are you?
There are tons of statistics, current and historic, from the National Weather service.
My local source of data (hourly) is at the following web site. There are dozens of data sites in California.
