IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT FIVE YEARS WORTH OF RAINFALL IN ALBUQUERQUE TO MATCH WHAT THE HOUSTON AREA HAS RECEIVED IN LESS THAN A WEEK. CHUCK JONES IS A METEOROLOGIST AT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. HE SAYS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 ALBUQUERQUE GOT IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL TOTALS BY THE CITY’S STANDARDS, BUT NOTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HOUSTON RECEIVED.
SOME AREAS AROUND HOUSTON HAVE GOTTEN MORE THAN 50 INCHES OF RAIN IN LESS THAN A WEEK. THE AVERAGE YEARLY RAINFALL FOR ABQ IS LESS THAN 10 INCHES.
