The wettest season ever?

Southern California residents face a seventh day of downpours in what may be the region's wettest season ever. Storms that began February 17 have saturated the area, raining faster than the ground can handle and sparking mudslides and floods. Between July 1 and today, 33.87 inches (86 cm) of rain had fallen on downtown Los Angeles, the third-wettest period in history. "Los Angeles hasn't seen this amount of rain in this amount of time in 115 years", National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro said. The record, 38.18 inches, set between July 1, 1883, and June 30, 1884. If it continues to rain, this record could even be broken.
