September Brings Dramatic Weather Turn in Indianapolis

Indianapolis made a dramatic turnaround in its weather this month.  September 2012 will go down in the record books as one of the wettest Septembers on record. This comes after the city recorded its driest June on record a few months ago.
"To go from a two-month period of less than 1" rain to almost 14" of rain the following two-months is nothing short of stunning," says weather.com Senior Meteorologist Jon Erdman.

"To be sure, the drought is not over in the Hoosier State," reports Erdman. "Almost 88% of Indiana remains in drought. Parts of the state still need up to 12" of additional rain to eliminate the drought."
Unfortunately, all this precipitation is likely too late for farmers in Indiana. The drought has devastated corn crops across the state. Indiana cattle farmers have had to ship in hay from Arizona, Utah, and even Canada to feed their livestock.
