NWS says that we're at 3.88" for the month and 25.09" for the year to date.

And yeah I'm a bit surprised we aren't much above normal.

This May is below an average May in terms of rainfall in BTR??? I can't believe that. I was just online trying to find plans to build my own facking ark.

We actually had more rain last May than this may at this point.

Shreveport is about 8 inches above average and that doesn't include the storm that just went through this weekend

I'm in Los Angeles right now and it's been on every newscast for the past day and a half.
