We had a lot more than that yesterday but I didn't see any statistics on it.
This is not an exception, it is typical!
It comes down so fast that nothing can contain it. The house gutters over flow, the ditches on the roads are full, the roads are under running water. Our little farm track road is a river, flowing solid across the lane, several inches deep.
Yet, somehow, the place doesn't float away. The local river, Rio Caldera, doesn't even approach flood stage during these rainy season rains.
It does flood, but in Nov, Dec, Jan, when the rains fall on the continental divide above town. Then all hell breaks loose. This phenomenon is called Bajarqeue. It is a mist in town but heavy rains above town.
Good news, the power stayed on through out the rain.
The Direct TV was another story. The clouds are so thick that the picture pixelates and the sound gets lost. So no TV during the heavy rains.
For some strange reason, the wireless internet keeps on working.
