In the 24 hours before mid-day Monday, more than two inches of rain fell on several cities near Yellowstone, such as: Quadrant, Wyoming (2.68 inches); West Yellowstone, Montana (2.11 inches); Soda Butte, Montana (2.82 inches); and Gardiner, Montana (1.29 inches).


So an afternoon thunderstorm in LA.

It's so interesting how the climate/weather is so different in different parts of the US.

Read a story a few years ago about 7 Hikers who drowned in Zion. They were in one of the slot canyons and it rained about a half inch. We hiked that canyon last year and I can see how that would happen quickly. Those rocks don’t absorb much water.

Yep. In regards to rainfall and flooding, it is all about location, location, location.

The other night East of Montgomery, AL in a town called Eclectic they had radar indicated 4.5"+ in the span a few hours. At times hourly rates were approaching 2" an hour. There was never a Flash Flood Warning issued. If you put those totals in that time period in other areas, you've got big time problems.
