And that wasn’t much, compared to other place. My neighbor at Lovers and Fisher said his rain gauge had more than five inches, and Love Field had 4 1/2 inches.

And, for everyone keeping score after last year’s top 5 rainfall event (to paraphrase the weather types), we’re about two inches ahead of normal and of last year’s pace.
