August 2017: Hurricane Harvey Final Report Issued

[Ptarmigan]

The Weather Predication Center releases their Preliminary Harvey Rainfall Totals...

Hurricane Harvey dumped more rain than Hurricane Hiko did in 1950 in Hawaii. They have mountainous terrain, which is more likely to see heavy rain.

If Houston did have mountains, we could easily see over 100 inches of rain!

I read the report. Quite a read. The weak stationary cold front contributed to the widespread heavy rains. That is a similar setup with Amelia in 1978. It also possible that up to 70 inches of rain fell!
