All this week of rain is supposed to be the remnants of a hurricane. We have had the second wettest year on record and we have a month to go yet. It will not take much to be the wettest year ever. The drought is totally and completely and redundantly over. (I am a member of the "stamp out and eliminate redundancy movement")
My rain gauge is a neat little weather station. It is on a pole in the back yard that measures temperature, humidity, wind speed and rain fall. It was coated in ice and failed to record some of the rainfall.
