I just read an update on the rains in India, especially the city of Bombay. As if what they've gotten already wasn't enough, it's started raining AGAIN. I just can't picture the kind of storm that could produce 37 inches in one day. It would be scary to be in something like that and watch the streets turn into rivers. Even a few inches of rain creates havoc if it doesn't have time to soak in.
I can easily imagine 37 inches of snow, because that doesn't take nearly as much moisture, but that much rain just boggles the imagination. I have lived in Colorado most of my life, and I don't think that all of the rain we've gotten in the last 4 YEARS would total 37 inches. I sure hope I never see anything like what those poor people in Bombay are going through.
