Wow this is terrible. The world is getting scary.
 
The newspaper reorted today that the total rainfall was 9 inches, which used to be the lower end of average annual rainfall for the state of New Mexico. We have been getting a lot more rain lately. Last year Roswell got a little over 5 inches for the year.
