Where? Show me a station that has recorded rainfall for all but 5 days since July 28.

So why say this if you don't think this rain is needed to get back to avg?

Are you stupid, or just ignorant? The point I was making is that it's been dry as hell across a good part of the state. The whole "its been raining forever, we're all going to drown" argument is nonsense.

Back on July 19, damn near the entire state was under some kind of drought classification, with a significant portion of the southern part of the state under at least a D1 classification.

Even as of August 16, most of the state was still classified as "Abnormally Dry".

Tell that to half the state that has beans and cotton rotting in the fields

shite, I'm surprised they weren't dying of thirst...now they are rotting?

LA Farm Bureau News just had an article yesterday about how the moisture has sparked a "revival" of cotton in Louisiana. LSU's cotton specialist said the harvest forecast was "solid".

That article was from 2 days ago.
