We get very little moisture here…..average annual total precipitation is under 5".
We're getting rain of Biblical proportions, least for us. So far, just under 2" since around 10:00 last night……and still raining.
This was in yesterday's Cowboy Daily…..I hope that the author didn't have some sort of premonition! We live about 17 miles downstream of Thermopolis, on the Bighorn River only about 12-15 feet above typical water level!

Wyoming History: It’s Been A Century Since 100-Year Floods Devastated Central Wyoming
Dozens were killed when torrential rains in July and again in September 1923 brought a double dose of 100-year floods that put Thermopolis and other towns under water and caused the worst train wreck in Wyoming history.
