Record NYC rainfall!

(It was pouring all afternoon yesterday, and into the evening as well!)

New York breaks city’s rainfall record with nearly eight inches soaking city!  

"New York broke an all-time record for a one-day rainfall Sunday as up to 8 inches of water soaked the city, snarling trains and flooding roadways.
By 9 p.m., 7.7 inches of rain had fallen at Kennedy Airport.
It was the most recorded there in a single day since the National Weather Service began keeping records 116 years ago.The normal rainfall for all of August in New York is 4 inches - which means the city was socked with two months worth of rain in a single day."
