Rain

Hurricanes and tropical storms can dump between 6 and 12 inches of rain during a single storm. On average, Maryland sees about 44 inches of rain every year.  Lately, Anne Arundel County has seen tremendous rainfall.

Scientists believe that Maryland is experiencing so much rainfall for several reasons including rising sea levels and extreme heat. So far in 2020 the area has seen tropical storms, severe thunderstorms, and even a tornado. Scientists predict the number of storms during hurricane season are also increasing. 

September is National Preparedness Month. It’s important to prepare long before a rain and flooding disaster occurs. Sign up for local alerts from Anne Arundel County. Develop and test emergency communications plans. Collect and safeguard critical documents. Document property and assets and make sure you have enough business insurance.
