WWT for November 9, 2008: Wettest year ever?

Note: I've posted this article to help you win a Weather Alert radio, and to impress your friends and family because you'll know the answer before we show on TV!
 
Weekend Weather Trivia question: What's Tulsa's record for the most rainfall in one year? Your hints and answers are below:
 
With over 53" of precipitation so far, 2008 is one of the wettest years ever in Tulsa. Even if we don't see another drop of rain this year, 2008 would finish as the 10th wettest year in recorded history.
 
Looking back over the weather records from the last 100 years, our wettest years are: 
 
1.   69.9" in 1973
2.   62.8" in 1915
3.   59.2" in 1974
10. 53.5" in 2008
 
 
 
More rain will fall this week and with just a few more inches we could reach a top 5 finish.
 
Thanks for playing Weekend Weather Trivia on Sunday's from 9-10am!
