The Dallas Downpour: Did Noah Need a Pool Float?
How much rain did Dallas get last night? Well, that depends on how you measure "a lot" of rain. Here's the down low (get it? Because it rained... I'll be here all week):
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
-
Did the rain qualify for an Olympic sport? Probably not synchronized swimming, but maybe diving! Reports are coming in of rogue catfish attempting a synchronized ballet in some neighborhoods.
-
Did it rain cats and dogs? Thankfully, no displaced pets were reported. But if you wake up to a goldfish in your bathtub, well, that's a story for another day.
-
Did Noah need to dust off his ark-building skills? Not quite. While some streets became temporary rivers, most Texans know how to navigate a good puddle party.

The Official Rainfall Report (or, How Many Spoons Deep Are We?)
Now, for those who like their rain measured in something a little less whimsical, here's the nitty-gritty:

-
The National Weather Service says: According to the folks at the National Weather Service, Dallas received a measly 0.06 inches of rain. Measy? That must be a Texan unit of measurement, like a "heap" or a "scooch."
-
But wait, there's more! Apparently, 0.06 inches doesn't tell the whole story. Some areas reported significantly higher totals, with some streets looking like they belonged in Venice rather than Dallas.
The Verdict: So Much Rain, or Not That Much Rain?
So, how much rain did Dallas REALLY get? It depends on where you were standing. For some, it was a minor inconvenience. For others, it was a chance to break out the inner-tube and pretend the living room was a lazy river.
One thing's for sure: Dallas proved once again that it can handle whatever Mother Nature throws its way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a squeegee and a very damp driveway.
