I know this is overkill, but there have been so many concerns about increased dryness across Alabama lately, so here is a complete list of rain amounts for the last 24 hours. Some places got a good soaking, but a huge percentage of the state did not get enough to do any real good. For example, if your community only received 1/10 of an inch, it can be compared to getting only one sip of coffee in the morning. Here we go with a long list:
