RECORD-SMASHING RAIN!
Heavy rain impacted the area during the weekend. Not only did this create widespread flooding, but it also demolished every record in the book.

Wettest Day Ever
On Saturday, the rainfall total in South Bend was an amazing 6.58". This is a new record for the most rain in one day, and it's not even close. The old record was 4.69", which was set on June 25, 1968.

Wettest September Ever
Because of Saturday's total of 6.58" and the 4.07" that followed Sunday, the monthly total is now 13.68". This is now the wettest September on record, and we're only halfway through the month. The old record was 9.01" set in 1977.

Wettest Month of All-Time!
The total for the month of 13.68" is now the wettest month on record, and it's not even close. The old  record was 10.86" set in June 1993.

Interesting Observation for the Upcoming Winter
This month has replaced September 1977 as the wettest September on record. You may remember that September 1977 was just a few months prior to the worst winter ever here. During that winter, which included the infamous Blizzard of '78, South Bend received a total of 172" of snow. Perhaps a sign that this winter will be harsh...?
