    If this rain has been liquid sunshine, it shouldn’t get dark again for a long, long time.

    Does anyone know where ya can find what the rain fall totals have been for this year?

    I know Mobile & Pensacola are the two wettest cities in the country with 69 & 68 inches average rain fall per year.

    Have we exceeded that this year?
