However, the Great Lakes area is NOT Texas or down South. We get a LOT more precipitation.
Texas is a big state. In my part of East Texas, where it's green and lush, full of pine trees and swamps, I get 4ft of rain per year, on average. My personal record is 8 1/2 inches in one day, which is nothing compared to some areas that have received 14 inches in a day. I don't know what the records are, but I do know that most places couldn't survive that much water. A 3 to 5 inch rain in a day happens a few times a year and most storms drop an inch or more. When it rains, it really comes down.
Just in case you wanted to know about rain in East Texas.
