Show June storms break precedent, we get .78 of inch rain After a 30-day drought that extended from the first week in May into the first week in June, the weather man suddenly sud-denly changed his tactics, and reversed the order of things and we are now getting our summer storms in June instead in-stead of before or later, one or another. Starting Saturday, June 7, a violent wind-driven rain and hail storm hit our city, depositing de-positing .27 of an inch of water in a wild storm that did some damage to the gar-dons gar-dons and fruit crop, but not covering the entire area. After a few days of rest the storm began again on the past week end and has continued con-tinued through the first three days of the week. Clayton Rasmussen at the weather station sta-tion states that on Sundaay evening .33 of an inch came; .20 of an inch came on Monday Mon-day and .08 of an inch on Tuesday. The accumulation of all storms brings the total for June to .78 of an inch, which is quite uncommon for our area. This brightens the water picture considerably although it wasn't bad prior to the storms. The canyon streams are still ruunning high, and a ; week ago the Yankee Reservoir Reser-voir started running over the spillway, adding more water to the creek out of first left 1 hand canyon. And streams! that run into the reservoir are still up. Also the Robinson i Reservoir, a small storage pond northeast of Bowery has not been opened as far as wei can learn. I |
