Many people have experienced a heavy rainfall. However, on April 7, 1956, Unionville, Maryland had a rainfall that set records. In just one minute, just under one and a quarter inches of rain fell.
Thankfully, the rain lessened and the storm only lasted about 50 minutes. All told, the storm dropped a little over two and three-fourths inches of rain. If the rain had continued to fall as hard as it did when the record was set for the greatest amount of rain in one minute, the storm would have dropped about 62.5 inches of rain. That is more than five feet of water!
