Are you ready for some meteorological alliteration?
After several soaking September showers, we are close to getting historical credit. I should have said downpours instead of showers, but that would have blown the alliteration theme.
We are in pursuit of another rainfall record this month. The first record was set on Labor Day. Mother Nature flooded the Indianapolis rain gauge with 7.2 inches of rain. That is an all-time record for rainfall in a 24-hour period. Now we are close to the monthly September rainfall record. We are less than half an inch from breaking the old record set nearly 8 decades ago. In 1926, Indianapolis recorded 9.33 inches for the month of September.
