this South/Gulf "rain system"
Isn't is normally rainy during the summer months along the Gulf Coast?

the one that just laid 10" on DFW is normal or "natural"?
Not unheard of. A similar event happened back in 1964, after a brutally hot and rainless July and August in DFW, the area had 15 inches of rain in September.

yea pop up showers in the afternoon
Usually 30-40% chances daily
Not 60-70% chances weeks at a time
Probably will be 2nd rainiest on record behind 2016 for many areas in South LA without there being some kind of tropical system
will be records broken in North LA

Yes.
And of course there are anomalies. (1964 was 60 years ago).
But as one poster noted -- for 24+ hours straight?
Did you notice how it rained 10-12" in Texas? An "expert" said it was a "one in one thousand years" anomoly.
What about recently in Vegas?
In CA?
Actually...
"Normal" weather patterns no longer exist. People are going to have to start drawing their own conclusions that something -- actually a LOT -- isn't right.

Yes, but those chances quickly diminish as you move farther inland. For instance, it can be common in the summers for BR or NO to get afternoon humidity showers (so much moisture accumulates in the air it creates its own, very brief but very active, storm cell which won't cover even half the city). In the northern part of the state though, you don't get those (or they are exceedingly rare).
So we can have little showers all over South La all summer while much (or all) of North La remains largely bone dry through the same timeframe.
