Last month ended up with being
the second wettest November since
the weather bureau was established
here In the spring of 1011.
La it month's rain totalled 8 69
Inches, an excess of 3 31 above aver
age. This compared with 6.60 Inches
of rain for November of 1826. highest
record for the month shown In the
weather bureau's tabulations.
Greatest amount of rainfall for
any 24-hour period from midnight
to midnight occurred last month on
the 30th when 1.43 inches were re
corded. It was on that day that
home, store and office building cel
lars were flooded and a sand-bag
levee was erected on Stewart avenue
to svert flooding of the southwest
part of the city. Rainfall exceeded
sn Inch on one other day laat month,
the 10th when 1.08 inches were re
corded. Rain fell on 23 days of the month,
ranging upward from a trace. There
were only eight days on which no
rain fell. There were only three
clear days In the month, the rest
being cloudy or psrtly cloudy, bureau
records show.
The month contrasted oddly with
November of 1636 when only .01 of
an Inch fell during the entire 30
days. The November rain last year
fell on the first day of the month;
the remainder of the month was
bone dry.
A year ago fall seeding was delayed
because of lack of rain, the earth
being too hard for plowing. This year
fall seeding was delayed because
