We have had the opposite problem in South Dakota. During a typical summer we may get a couple hundredths of an inch during a rain fall, or even an inch if it is particularly heavy, but this year it seems that every time it rained it was 2 to 6 inches at a shot....quite a few roads washed out and houses with flood damage....the good thing is the water tables are full again as are the ponds, lakes and rivers....just hope we don't get a ton of snow or we will be flooded again come spring.
