1979 was the coldest year in US history, and also brought the heaviest rain – 43 inches in one day.

Climate experts say that global warming brings heavier rains, because they are completely incompetent and have no idea what they are talking about.
We got 14 inches in 7 hours. And it flooded the whole area! I think that is enough for me.
The Alvin, Texas record was a result of T.S. Claudette. As you pointed out, 1979 was a cold year. Evidently, this cold produced extreme tropical systems, too. Global Weirding. Can’t prove it wrong!
I’m 24 miles inland from Florida’s Space Coast. The closest “official” rain gauge to me has been showing trace rainfall daily. We have been averaging at least an inch a day and one day last week had about 5″. Half of my pasture area has standing water in it, the ditches are full and it’s the same all the way to the St. Johns river… but not according to the “official” weather folks. We got ~1″ yesterday but the reported totals from the official stations are between 0.02″ and 0.33″… and the East Orlando radar site is about 3 miles from our property. I guess that “drought” message doesn’t work if it rains every day.
Yes we had a major hailstorm and 60 mph winds in March of this year but those records are no where to be seen on WUNDERGROUND.

Where’s Al Gore?
Here in northwest Florida, we had around 30″ in 30 or so hours at the end of April. Must be gorebull warming.
It’s hard to argue with a cult-like movement that now blames every weather event on “man-made global warming/climate change” even when these events are common and not unusual over long periods of time. The sad thing is that their position is being taught as “indisputable fact” in the school systems and by an unquestioning and unprofessional mainstream media.
