Lorton precipitation amounts June 24-30, 2013
This past June was the second wettest month since I’ve began keeping records in Lorton in 2010. September 2011 gave us 19.2” of rain, much of it from the one - two punch of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, which in our area flooded Giles Run and washed out Lorton Road. This month we received 10.22” of rain, some of which could be attributed to the remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea which came ashore in the Gulf. Coming in third was October of last year, where Hurricane Sandy helped our monthly total reach 7.47”
My rain gauge in Lorton recorded 2.70” of rain last week.
