091911-storm total precip-2

Here are some preliminary rainfall totals from the afternoon and evening storms we had Sunday 9/18/11. Nowhere near enough to break or even dent the drought, but still it is a good start. First, I attached radar estimated rainfall.


Radar estimated precipitation for all of north Texas.
Zoomed inview for the immediate D/FW Metroplex.

Misguided mainstream media and it's under appreciation for our National Weather Service
