Yea. American is so huge...something to be said about people that have never seen a city.

Also caught trout on the same day. I lived in St. Mary, Montana right outside Glacier National Park during Summer of 2010. It was really beautiful out there, and it snowed on June 16th in town (mixed with rain). Saw grizzly bears, moose, mountain goats, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted to live in one of those quiet, small western towns where it can snow September-May and summer nights are in the 40's and 50's so you can have the windows open to sleep. Only would want to do it for about a month though. After that I'd start missing too many things from around here that you wouldn't get out there.

bluewave Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I got to experience 5" in just under 2 hours in June 95 and 10" in less than 12 hrs during August 2011. It would be pretty wild to get an extreme amount of rain in a minute or even 5 minutes. https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/what-is-the-most-rain-to-ever-fall-in-one-minute-or-one-hour One-minute rainfalls It is hard to imagine how an accurate measurement of precipitation over a 60-second period can be made. However, the U.S. Weather Bureau conducted several exhaustive studies of the Unionville, Maryland claim to 1.23” in one minute on July 4, 1956 and determined it to be accurate (see for the Monthly Weather Review summary). A recording rain gauge: A Friez Universal Type with a 12-inch capacity, dual traverse pen, and 24-hour clock gear on a chart drum was used to make the measurement. It had good exposure and measured a storm total of 3.60” between 2:50 p.m and 11:30 p.m. with 2.84” of this falling in a 50-minute period between 2:50-3:40 p.m. The minute that ostensibly measured the 1.23” total occurred around 3:22-3:23 p.m. Here is a copy of the trace: A number of experiments were made on the gauge to determine its calibration and accuracy. The gauge passed all the tests to which it was subjected. Anecdotal information also played a part in the record’s certification. Extreme flash flooding and erosion were reported in the surrounding area and the sky became so dark that residents were forced to turn lights on in spite of being mid-afternoon. Roof gutters were overwhelmed, with water reported flowing off roofs “like Niagara Falls”. The Unionville figure is generally considered not only the U.S. record for one minute but also the world record for such. A much-quoted 1.50” at Barot, Guadeloupe on November 26, 1970 cannot be verified (in fact, there appears to be no such location on the Caribbean island). Other significant one-minute rainfalls include 0.69” at Jefferson, Iowa on July 10, 1955 and 0.65” at Opid’s Camp, California on April 5, 1926. At Jefferson 1.00” fell in 109 seconds.

I've often wondered about some of those one minute etc. rain records...just doesn't seem possible to me to get so much in such a short period of time...The most rain I can remember getting in a short period of time is maybe 0.50" in five minutes...that's based off memory so it could be higher.
