Rain hasn't poured from the skies like this in more than 50 years.
On Tuesday — a day that saw lightning, thunder, rain and hail — November 2006 became the wettest month at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport since the National Weather Service began measuring Seattle rainfall there in 1948. And there are still nine days to go before we bid November adieu.
A total of 13.11 inches of rain had fallen as of midnight, beating the old record of 12.92 inches of rain in a single month that was set in January 1953.
In Seattle, rainfall records date back to 1896; rainfall was previously measured at the Federal Building downtown. The all-time record set there — 15.33 inches in December 1933 — will be shattered if a little less than 2.5 inches fall by month's end. This November, "it's just been one system after another with really no break in between," said Dennis D'Amico, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle.
