"Over 20 trillion gallons of water have fallen on the Four Corners states and Nevada in the past two weeks"
How are people supposed to relate to that number?
By comparison, we had 5 inches of rain on the mountain. Another useless number -- until you convert it to 4+ ft of *snow*!
Anyone who's shoveled a foot or more can imagine what that would be like!
The real deluge was...
"The Great Flood of 1862 (often associated with the late-1861 and 1863 deluge period) was the largest historical flood in California, Oregon, and Nevada, driven by 43 consecutive days of atmospheric river storms starting in December 1861 and extending into early 1862"
That was before Al Gore.
