Something of a Rainfall
Four and one half inches of rainfall
in one hour, and 1.15 inches in only ten
minutes, is going some, but that is
what they had down in Panama one
day last month.
They called it a shower, but admit
ted that it was the heaviest that has
been recorded on the isthmus since the
American occupation. It began about
noon and lasted until 9:45 p. m. but the
heaviest precipitation was between 2:30
and 5:30 o’clock in the afternoon.
During those three hours there were
7.62 inches of rain.
Fortunately the precipitation was
greatest at points where little or no
excavation is in progress. Except for
momentary trouble with sunken tracks
| and the natural difficulty of handling
mud, the work on the canal proceeded
as usual the day after the storm.
