In my area (Vacaville) we have a annual rainfall estimate of 12.76". The rain year is 10-1 through 9-30 each year. To date our rainfall total already exceeds the annual estimate and more to come too.

My.brain.hurts. I’ll have to watch it several times to let it soak in. I feel like I just watched a semester lecture at 125% speed. I am sure it is exceptionally informative - just gotta watch it more than once.
