We'll have to think about how we want to <br />proceed wi th this. Did you say that Larry Tunnell still :~as the radar <br />files for July 28 and July 29th? Maybe we shouldn't orde.c any images <br />untiJ. after the data collection is all done. I'rc still not sure about <br />the dates and locations of the big storms other than the ones we I VE, <br />documented. I would really like to have images for the two big \^Jeld <br />County storms in June, but lets hold off on that for now. > Torn, > > <br />Here is the preliminary response from the NCDC regarding -~~he storm> <br />total. precipitation images.
