Rainfall - Trivia

There are 27,152 gallons of water per inch of rainfall on every acre of land surface.  Brenham, the town closest to where I live, has received 23.93 inches of rain from May 1 to May 16, 2015.  That calculates to 649,747 gallons of water per acre.  That's a lot of water, and it is raining today.  The northern part of the county received 5 inches one day earlier this month.  This is more rainfall than we've seen in a number of years.  Not soon enough to save a lot of the big trees from the drought of prior years.  I've lost 12 big (16 inches in diameter or larger) trees from my yard which includes 2.5 acres.  I'm still sawing up fallen and dead trees.

Anyone need firewood?
