I've been in the desert for about a year and a half now, and it still is comical to me to hear people talk about 2" of rainfall as if that's a lot.
I've been in West Texas for a little over a year and a half now.
and it's still amazes me how little rain is considered "a lot" out here, and just how little it takes to flood things.
so damn drastic from one of (typically #1 or #2) rainiest cities in America to a damn desert.
this sandbox I'm currently residing in has gotten less than 4" of rain so far on the year.
back home, we got 8.5" in January.
and again in March
got over 10" in July
April, May, and June each had between 6" - 7.5"
Odessa, TX
Phoenix, AZ
Columbus, OH
have all combined for a little under 32" on the year.
Montegut, LA is just over 52" on the year.
