Just to the east of Waverly, the town of McEwen was pummeled Saturday with 17.02 inches (43.2 centimeters) of rain, smashing the state’s 24-hour record of 13.6 inches (34.5 centimeters) from 1982, according to the National Weather Service in Nashville, though Saturday’s numbers would have to be confirmed.

A flash flood watch was issued for the area before the rain started, with forecasters saying 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) of rain was possible. The worst storm recorded in this area of Middle Tennessee only dropped 9 inches (23 centimeters) of rain, said Krissy Hurley, a weather service meteorologist in Nashville.

“Forecasting almost a record is something we don’t do very often,” Hurley said. “Double the amount we’ve ever seen was almost unfathomable.”

天气预报4 to 6 inches, 而实际降雨17.02 inches
这上面说天气预报不可能准的(was almost unfathomable),那些说郑州有天气预报为什么不关闭地铁和地下隧道的可以解释一下。

天灾,谁也没辙。
 
24小时 17 x 25.4 = 431.8 mm,这也称得上是天灾了。以后这种极端灾害天气可能会越来越多。

那些指责和嘲笑郑州雨灾的人,这次怎么说?
