A great example of lousy information. Of course it's true. It just is not very informative. If one lives in California or several neighboring states it was NOT the wettest record. It was the driest. The key here of course is "contiguous United States". This "record" is skewed by what happened in Texas, and parts of the south and midwest. We have to be careful about how we see "data".
