If you’re alarmed by the size of our national debt, there’s another massive deficit that may boggle your mind.
Rainfall Deficits Oct. 2010 – Apr. 2013
Corpus Christi -42.32″ (3.5 feet)
Laredo -25.74″ (2.1 feet)
Victoria -51.59″ (4.3 feet)
In meteorology, we often discuss precipitation deficits and surpluses in terms of inches.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, Texas, parts of South Texas have rainfall deficits on the order of several feet over a two-and-a-half-year period from October 2010 through April 2013.
Put another way, you would need rainfall to fill a rain gauge the height of an average five year-old child to wipe out Corpus Christi’s two-plus-year deficit. For Victoria, Texas, that rain gauge would be just over the height of an average eight-year-old child!
