#4  Most places in Arizona, including Phoenix, do not have storm sewers (because why?)

So if you do get a heavy rain, which does happen once in a blue moon, there is flooding.

However, since Arizona is so, well, arid, the floodwaters dry up pretty quickly, and an hour later it's dry again.

#3  I need to overseed my lawn. The "experts" say we will get decent rain every day for the next 5 days. I won't actually go out to seed the lawn until the rain starts, and then only if there's no serious lightning.

Imagine this much rain in Dec/Jan and what the Ice and Snow fall would be in certain parts of AZ & KY.
