With the last reporting of .03 inches of rainfall at the 06:53 reporting by the National Weather Service at Dallas/Ft.Worth International Airport, the keeper of the official rain gage for the Metroplex, here is a breakdown by the 6-hour reporting totals.:
October 22 18:53-------------0.39-inches
October 23 00:53-------------2.18-inches
October 23 06.53-------------0.33-inches
October 23 12:53-------------1.70-inches
October 23 18:53-------------0.16-inches
October 24 00:53-------------1.46-inches
October 24 06:53-------------1.33-inches
October 24 12:53-------------0.09-inches
October 25 06:63-------------0.03-inches
Total rainfall 10-22-to 25
06:53 reporting hour is 7.67-inches
NB-- notice that there is no reported rain fall at the October 24 at 18:53 or at 00:53 on the 25th. No rain fell at those reported hours but fell after the 00:53 hours reporting. That is the marked decline of the storms rain fall as the cold front moved across and the moisture from Tropical Depression Patricia was pushed farther south toward the Gulf and the Houston area.
October is traditionally the wettest month in the Metroplex. Up until this time we had no rain but a recorded trace for October. The past three days was everything it had been hyped to be as you can see from the totals.
Double that and then some just south of us and totals were showing up as 17.67-inches in Corsicana, Texas. The rushing waters washed a BNSF train of gondola cars right off the tracks and put it on its side.
No rain is forecast until this coming week-end. Oh! Boy!
