Surprisingly The Rain In Oklahoma Is More Than October Completely
We're only five days in to November this year and we're already beating records in Oklahoma. The recent rainfall has been much needed; if only we were able to get just the rain.
November Rainfall Exceeds The Entire Month of October
Since the severe storms came in on Nov. 1, Oklahoma has seen more rainfall than in the entire month of October. Mesonet's Three-Day Rainfall Accumulation chart shows that parts of the state have seen up to 7.69 inches of rain, specifically in Pauls Valley.
October this year nearly went without any rain at all, but saw 0.92 inches the night before Halloween.
Unfortunately, severe weather has come along with these storms and left parts of Oklahoma with damage. November has already seen at least five tornadoes, according to weather.gov. The strongest tornado of which unfortunately hit Cleveland and Oklahoma counties, injuring 11 people and damaging over 100 homes.
