That is hard to imagine.

There have been occasions where you could get that in a day here. Of course there is a lot of flooding going on for days afterwards.

I read recently that the southwest has had more rain in the last 100 years then what would be typical, going back a long time. A lot of farmers here pump water with diesels or electric pumps.

I have a boat that I can't use, but if we get anymore rain, it's gonna float off the trailer right here in the yard..

Try living in Vegas, our average is under 2 inches. That is why everyone has a pool!

Better than some places I've been.

I once worked in Denver City, Texas. The last time it rained there was during Noah's flood...and it only sprinkled.
