Hi Daryl!

 BM> BM>It amazes me how much water there can be!  And the water isn't just
 BM> BM>higher than the normal river path but spread out over land and still
 BM> BM>greatly elevated.  That's a LOT of water!!
 BM> DS>   And, each thunderstorm contains at least 500,000 tons of water.
 BM>That must have one huge scale!
 DS>   I always wondered how they determined that amount.

Probably an educated guess along the lines of a cubic foot of water 
weighs x-amount.  Then they'd have to correct that as a cloud isn't a 
floating pond of water but more a fog, so not solid ==> capture and 
condense to figure the density and amount?  

Snowing out currently -- morning of April 17th --  warmer, or at least
here on the ground it is, so denser and more water content than the 
fluffy kind of snow.  That'll add another calculation for water content
and weight!
