Texas Rain - some interesting stats

[BB_TX]

From National Weather Service:

35 Trillion Gallons

That's how much rain the Lone Star state has had over the past month, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth -- enough to cover the whole state up to nearly eight inches deep
16.72 Inches

While Texas as a whole has broken its record for the wettest May, many cities have topped centuries-old records, too. At Camp Mabry, a military installation in Austin, Texas, 16.92 inches of rain fell through May 28, beating the old record of 14.10 inches in May 1895.

23 Days — and Counting

At least one location in Texas has received four or more inches of rain each day since May 5, according to the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. More rain is possible through the end of this week.


25 Days — and Counting

Waco, Texas, has had rain for 25 consecutive days, starting May 5. The previous record was 20 days in the spring of 1957, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. There's a small chance of rain there Friday.

200 Rescues

In Dallas, more than 200 people, all believed to be in cars, were rescued overnight, according to the Dallas Office of Emergency Management. There were no immediate reports of casualties, but the news across the state is more somber: At least 23 people have died in flooding in Texas and Oklahoma.

You guys are really dealing with feast and famine. Not long ago you couldn't buy a rain.

Amazon stats but frightening. When we left Livingston for our trek north to SD a twister touched down in Livingston the next day. The whole middle America has had some really crazy weather the past two months.
