Wettest City

I saw that MSN had a new list for the rainiest cities in the contiguous 48 states. I was pretty shocked by the list. Of course everyone thinks that Seattle always gets rain, but they were not even on the list. #6 was my wonderful city of Baton Rouge with 62 inches of rains in a year. I saw a different list from another year (unknown) that had Hilo, Hawaii with 120 inches of rain. Being that we (Baton Rouge) has already gotten a lot of rain this year I am sure that we will make that list again next year. January alone we had 18 inches of rain.

On the opposite end, I looked up the driest city and that city got 2.67 inches of rain in one year. I think it was somewhere in Arizona.

Lafayette made that list too! So did New Orleans and Lake Charles.
