Hurricane Harvey added 39 1/4" over five days to bring my 2017 total to 90 1/2". Without Harvey (assuming a couple of inches during the Harvey period would have fallen anyway) that’s right about average for the rest of the year. 2016 was 60 1/2". 2015 was a really odd year - 96" with no tropical storms to blame. It seemed like every time scattered thunderstorms were forecast they scattered in my direction. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-rain-did-you-get-this-year/805648.md?page=1)
