US Southwest extreme rainfall…Texas

“Records are replete with accounts of excessive precipitation. In all the Southwest probably the greatest single fall of rain was near Taylor, Tex., during the night of September 9 and 10, 1921. A total of 30 inches was recorded in 15 hours, thus averaging 2 inches per hour. Torrential rains over the southeastern portion of Texas in May 1923 resulted in Beaumont recording nearly 14 inches, and it was reported that the entire amount actually fell in 2.5 hours. In June 1913 nearly 21 inches of rain fell in 18 hours at Montell. Brownsville received 12 inches in 24 consecutive hours in September 1886, which helped raise the month’s total from a mean of 5.5 inches to an excess of over 25 inches.”
