Water Water Everywhere
Yesterday I had to go out several times and drive around to get various things done. Each time I was out, it was in the middle of a torrential downpour.
Local airport measured a little over an inch of rain yesterday, but who knows how close that measurement is to actual rainfall in the various areas. We all know that storms never drop the same amount of rain everywhere.
While trying to peer through all the rain on the windshield, I saw a goodly number of pickup trucks with canoes/kayaks either strapped to the top or resting in the bed.
Hmmm... what do they know that I don't?
I checked at weather.com. If you poke around enough you can find historical information (even though they make it convoluted and difficult to locate and I never remember how I got there so have to waste all kinds of time finding it each time I want to look...). Since yesterday was the end of July they had the month-to-date rain totals.
At the local airport where these measurements occur the grand total for July was 9.97 inches. Normal rainfall for July in this area is 3.80 inches.
Time to go boat shopping?

Three times normal rainfall? Boat, canoe, pontoons on the house ... whatever it takes!
