The Great Oklahoma Rain Dance of 2008: Did it Rain Cats and Dogs, or Just Cats?

The Rain Gauge Runneth Over
Now, thanks to the wonders of modern science (and some very dedicated weather folks), we know that rainfall can vary wildly across a state like Oklahoma. Some areas got soaked like a Twinkie in a swimming pool, while others...well, let's just say they could have used a good car wash.
Here's the juicy bit: The northeast corner of the state took the rain crown in 2008. We're talking over 57 inches for the year! That's more than 4 and a half feet of rain, folks! Enough to fill a kiddie pool and then some.

On the other hand, the Panhandle? They were left high and dry, with some areas seeing less than an inch for the entire year. Rough break, friends. Maybe next year you'll get the good downpour.
Floods, Fun, and Everything in Between
All that rain wasn't without its consequences. There were some epic floods, enough to make Noah look like an amateur. But hey, there were also some amazing water displays at the local waterfalls (think Niagara Falls, but with a bit more Oklahoma charm).
Overall, 2008 was a year Oklahoma won't soon forget. A year that reminded us of the power of Mother Nature, and maybe, just maybe, made us appreciate a good sunny day a little bit more.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
So, the next time you're wondering how much rain fell in Oklahoma in 2008, remember – it depends on where you were standing!
