WET IN NYC: 4 minutes with Mother Nature 9/29/11

 
3:32 pm looking north from 59th street NYC

Thursday, September 29, 2011 3:32 pm it was like the lights had gone out in our office. Within seconds we all had left our computers and began to watch a storm brew, taking advantage of our vast view of the northern Manhattan skyline. A quiet storm, feeding out of the Hudson River's George Washington Bridge, turned into a furious funnel in 4 minutes. The greatest show on Earth is no doubt, Mother Nature's.

It's October 3rd and it's already the 7th wettest year recorded in NYC history. Approximately 60 inches of rain to date. I doubt we are going to break a record (80 + inches) but my guess is with 3 more months and based on the chart below we are due for a second place standing.






...and based on the chart above, showing the past 141 years, are we not just a little bit concerned that the most recent years are consistently high in rainfall?
