Chariton Deluge

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 03:58 PM

Rain is at least falling in parts of the state this Sunday, but some locations picked up a bit too much rain in a little time. The featured chart is of one minute interval precipitation from the Chariton SchoolNet site showing 3.5 inches of rain falling in just an hour. The plot also shows extrapolated hourly rates over different periods of periods. For example, the peak hourly rate over an one minute period was over eight inches! Of course, the most intense rates do not last that long.

Voting:
Good = 48
Bad = 2
