Just fact-checked you, and KMSY location reported:
106.07 inches in 1990.
116.33 inches in 1991
106.89 inches in 1992
162.85 inches in 1993
131.10 inches in 1995
And looks like it hasnt been near 100 inches since then.
So thats really interesting in terms of climate change discussions.
eta:
Holy shite, KBTR reports 213.61 inches in 1993.
Idk if i believe this data now

Here is an interesting read on the 24 and 48 hour world records.

24-hour World Precipitation Records It is generally acknowledged (and officially accepted by the WMO) that the greatest 24-hour rainfall record also occurred on Reunion Island at the site of Foc-Foc on January 7-8, 1966 when 71.85 inches of rainfall was measured during Tropical Storm Denise.

I remember this well. I was 14. By the end of the year I had vowed to myself to GTFO out of Louisiana as soon as I was on my own.
