The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[nachoman]

i don't normally post about the weather, but it's been raining nonstop at least since I woke up to use the restroom at 2am. As of 6:30 AM, I've got around 3.5 inches of rain on my rain gauge. That's almost half of our yearly average rainfall, and probably doubles what I have seen so far this year combined. This all thanks to a decaying hurricane in the Pacific Ocean. This happens about once every 10 years, but this is the most rainfall I have seen in the city in this short amount of time in a real long time. It's probably going to break records and cause damage. Interestingly, when I was studying pre-historic climates of this region in school, there was a bit of a conundrum regarding how some dry lakes in the Arizona-New Mexico were full of water a few thousand years ago. One hypothesis proposed that the region could get a lot of rain in a short period of time from a rare hurricane, and if a few of them occurred in consecutive years, the lake would fill and remain full for awhile.
