The Sept record for rainfall for KDSM from 1914 is also the 2nd wettest month on record. 1914 also had record low tropical activity in the ATL. The following is from Chris Martz on F-book -- ( I will be digging it to the 1914-1915 winter as it seems to have some characteristics - thus far of this late summer/ early Fall) For the first time in 112 years, there have been ZERO Atlantic hurricanes by this point in the calendar year. The last time this happened was in 1914, two years after the R.M.S. Titanic sank. 1914 was the year that my great-grandmother was born. It was also the year World War I broke out, and when the Panama Canal officially opened to traffic. Charlie Chaplin directed his first film, Caught in a Cabaret, that year too. Year-to-date accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), an integrated metric that accounts for tropical cyclone frequency, intensity, and duration, is lowest on record in the satellite era (since 1966) with 6.3 units generated. Overall since 1851, North Atlantic ACE is lowest year-to-date since 1929 (although pre-satellite era data should be taken with a grain of salt). To have a TOP FIVE end-of-year total overall, Atlantic ACE must remain below 18.1 units. To have a TOP FIVE satellite-era end-of-year total, ACE must remain below 34.4 units. The latter is almost certainly doable I think. A top five finish since 1851 is going to be hard to accomplish, but is possible. October will ultimately decide our ranking. Interestingly and perhaps unsurprisingly, of the top ten lowest year-to-date ACE totals, all were either El Niño or ENSO netural.

Update through 5pm CDT Sept 22, 2026 Totals now are 12.14" so far this Sept for KDSM -- soils are crazy saturated with no sun in the last 10 days. Literally 1/2-3/4" of rain Saturday night had standing water on my lawn that one would think you just had 4". and 44.22 for the calendar year through 9/22/26. Making a run at over 50" for the year is highly likely. Only done three times before - 1881,1993 and 2010. The 12.14" so far for this Sept is the 8th wettest month on record and making a run at the top 3 or 4 has a strong chance. Certainly will make Top 6. More on Sept 2014 in a following post in regards to lack of ATL hurricanes.

That eyes are now on us and teams will start to figure out our secret sauce.

You don’t like that it took all that for them to notice? Or you don’t like that they’ve noticed?

Bringing this topic back to life. here's what I've observed so far: Steelers doing pretty good despite being destroyed by the Patriots The Browns are still losing as always, but got lucky against the Bucs and getting absolutely destroyed by the Jaguars The Panthers will beat the Browns, no doubt
