| episode_narrative | Rainfall from two land falling hurricanes finally ended the drought that plagued the Washington area since the summer of 1998. Washington Reagan National Airport reported a rainfall total of 10.27 inches for September, 6.96 inches above normal. It was the 4th wettest September on record. From the 20th of August through the end of September, 14.56 inches of rain fell at National Airport, over a third of the average yearly rainfall. DuPont Circle in Northwest Washington received a total of 9.93 inches during September. The much needed precipitation affected rivers and water reservoirs dramatically. Water restrictions were lifted across the entire metropolitan area by the middle of the month. |
