More rain has fallen in Decorah in just over two days than did in all of August

It's been dry in Decorah this summer.  Decorah weather statistician Richard Bernatz reported that 1.26 inches of rain was all that fell during August.

But this week has been a different story.  The National Weather Service Office in La Crosse says 1.85 inches of rain has fallen from 9:00 Tuesday morning through 1:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon.  That means way more rain has fallen in the last 52 hours than fell in 744 hours in August!
