The idiot author actually wrote and proofread this article with these paragraphs included..
The park experienced "unprecedented amounts of rainfall" of 1.46 inches measured at Furnace Creek, which caused substantial flooding. The rainfall total is just below the previous daily record of 1.47 inches.
The last time a closure of this size occurred in Death Valley was in August 2004, when a rainstorm caused flash flooding, said Abby Wines, Death Valley's public information officer. The rain totals for that incident are unknown.
So I guess the “unprecedented” deluge was under the record amount of 1.47 inches, but apparently they weren’t keeping track of rainfall amounts in 2004, so one has no idea how fucking old the record is or how common this “unprecedented “ event occurs…..

The obvious LIE is yahoo. Everything they print is a liberal lie. Next is the fact that the Massive washes in the SW desert are everywhere and WERE all caused by Massive Rain from the last ....... thousand or 7 thousand years.
