Ya and SEA still ended up with hardly any rain. Most places are between 1/2” to 1” there last few days while SEA is .10. Official stations must also show less rain than personal stations as SEA still consistently shows less than all personal stations surrounding the airport.
No offense taken OKwx2k4. You alluded to the "butterfly effect" in your review and in fact the entire concept is based on the work of Dr. Edward Lorentz and his mathematics work in the pursuit of weather study that eventually led to the development of chaos theory. I added my own experiance as an operator of high power radar systems. I must disagree with your assumption that "massive storms" come "as a surprise no matter what". The concept can only work because of the modern NWS weather surveillance system and forcasting tools that frequently point to the area of danger several days in advance and has real time monitoring of violent storms, regardless of the hilly terrain.
