First it was Boston that had a record-setting rainfall over a four-day period(see my May 16 post). Now it's Washington DC with a record-setting rainfall. Maybe it is time to build that Ark!!!
From Friday morning through yesterday morning, 12.11 inches of rain fell at Reagan National Airport, according to unofficial tabulations.
"This amount of rain in four days should occur once every 200 years, and we just lived through it," said Jim Lee, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service. Forecasters warned that an additional couple of inches of rain would lead to even more severe flooding, debris and damage.
June will end being the second wetest month ever in Washington DC.
