Noble County Gets
4.4O Inches OF Rain
In 2S Hour Period

According to the official gov
ernment weather gauge, manned
by Richard Burlingame, Noble
county received 4.40 inches of
rainfall in % hours, beginning
Saturday afternoon at 400
o'clock and continuing until 800
p. m, Sunday.
This would apply to the county
area while right in Caldwell, the
gauge at the state highway gar
age showed only $50 inches of
rain in the same period.
This is the greatest amount of
rain to fall in Noble county in
less than two days, since 1886
or 20 years ago, when the last
big flood was experienced.
Richard Burlingame said that
Noble county received total of
$40 inches of rain during the
month of May and for the first
five months of this year, it has
already reached the staggering
total of 25.16 inches.
A normal rainfall for the en-
tire year in this county is about
80 inches but in the first five
months, Noble county has almost
reached that figure.
There is no question but what
May will have the heaviest
downpour of rain for normal
monthly reading is usually about
three inches.
