On This Day...

On this day in 1942, one of my favorite rainfall statistics occurred in Smethport, Pennsylvania. A 3-hour rainfall record was set when 28.5" fell during that period.

In addition, the 4.5-hour rainfall record was set as 30.7" fell and the 12-hour record of 34.3"!

These are not only U.S. records, but the 3-hour and 4.5-hour totals constitute world records.
