Mammoth Rainfall

‘Mammoth Rainfall’

The main impact of the two storms will be “mammoth rainfall amounts” across southern Mexico, said Michael Schlacter, founder of Weather 2000 Inc. in New York.
“The worst thing for heavy rain are hills, mountains and mud,” Schlacter said by telephone. “The consequences for humanitarian purposes are just that more horrific.”
Schlacter said it’s possible heavy rain will fall across southern Mexico for the next five days.
The hurricane center was also tracking Humberto, now a post-tropical cyclone, which was about 980 miles northwest of the Cape Verde Islands with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. It was heading west-northwest at 13 mph and wasn’t a threat to land.
Tropical Depression Gabrielle was absorbed by a cold front today. Its remnants were bringing heavy rain to Canada’s Atlantic coast.

Ingrid Becomes Second Hurricane as Storms Threaten Mexico Coasts

This is what I was talking about this morning when I looked at Mexico's and points south and was saying that what I saw was biblical in rainfall amounts the way the charts showed what was happening. There may be much more loss of life in Mexico than in the U.S. because of not as much infrastructure most places.
