Wednesday, August 06, 2003Still talking about the weatherSent by a loved one in North Carolina: "The storm you spoke of [Note: see entry of August 2 -- rws] has been a more than weekly... day after day being more like it... event here. Flood warnings are issued nearly every day for somewhere within a few counties' reach. In Greensboro, we have had 43 inches of rain already this calendar year. The record for any calendar year since records were begun to be kept was for 58 inches and that was about 100 years ago. Since we have almost 5 more months in this calendar year... I shall not be surprised if that record is broken. As this trend began in late August of 2002, I'm guessing we may have already broken some 12 month records. Ben had gone to a conference in Utah, where it is bone dry and brown from dying spruce. He said when he arrived at the airport here, the entire building smelled of mold. "It is all very interesting." Yes, it is. (Least I think so.) rws 7:50 PM [+]
