Let's talk about Heavy Rainfall...
Heavy rain is usually brought on by a storm. It can also be called a "shower." Raindrops fall at a speed from 7 to 18 MPH. But, if it is windy they will fall faster! According to the The National Climatic Data Center there were 36 reported events of Heavy Rain in the last 20 years. Fortunately, there were no deaths or injuries reported.
In May of 2000, there were 18 reported incidences of Heavy Rain in Richmond County. According to the reports, many farmers are expecting a reduced amount of crops.
