64.5", the rainfall record set by hurricane Harvey
Numerous areas in SE Texas received over 50" of rain during Harvey but after reviewing rainfall over the entire area, the NWS announced that Nederland, TX (a small town north of Beaumont) set the US record for rainfall with 64.5" over the 5 days of Harvey. The previous record of 50+" was set in Hawaii over 60 years ago.
Being the record holder in this category is definitely a dubious distinction. We had over 41" here at our house and that was mind-boggling. It is difficult to even imagine that amount of rainfall, much less 64.5".
