Rain, rain go away for a while

Remember those “million-dollar rains” of yesteryear, when we’d get those all-day rainfalls that added up to an inch?
Well, they don’t seem to exist anymore; instead, when it rains around here, it pours.
New Hampton and the surrounding area were “deluged” three times in the last week as parts of the area received 1.5 inches of rain in about an hour Thursday, more than four inches early Friday morning and another heavy downpour hit parts of the county on Sunday afternoon.
