Record Breaking Rainfall!!!


It's not even November and we are the 8th wettest year on RECORD! The HPC (Hydrological Prediction Center) is forecasting 5"+ of rain across Region 8 over the next 48 hours. If that happens, we will go up to #3 and maybe even #2. As of right now, we are at 61.50" Here's the Top 10 Wettest years on record:

1. 72.18" 1957
2. 66.35" 1937
3. 65.39" 1973
4. 65.33" 1906
5. 64.21" 1898
6. 63.75" 1927
7. 62.19" 1945
8. 59.18" 1923
9. 55.73" 1921
10. 55.38" 1970

Stay Dry!

Good Morning Ryan. Let's sing this morning: ROW, ROW, ROW, YOUR BOAT, GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM.!!!! Know where we can buy some wood real cheap to start building an Ark? I know it's not funny, but hey, you have got to get thru it one way or the other. I emptied my Rain Gauge here at home this morning before it started raining again and from the rain the other day, we got 2 and 3/4 inches of rain here in Caraway. I'm curious now as to what we will end up with this round. Hope you have a great day and stay dry. Be safe out on the roads as well.

FYI: I just had to go out in the rain and check my Rain Gauge and as of right now at 11:10a.m., it shows just a little over 1/2 inch of rain and it's still coming down. Had to do this just for my favorite Weather Man.
