| Seco Creek Basin |
| May 31, 1935 |
| Heavy rainfall over the Seco Creek Basin above D’Hanis
in early morning May 31 caused the creek to rise rapidly and
reach the highest historical stage for D’Hanis. There were no
rain gages in the basin during the storm, and receptacles ordinarily
used for measuring rainfall ran over or were washed away. Bucket
surveys estimated that 22-24 in. of rain fell over a small area,
and that 12-14 in. fell at other points during 3 hours or less.
The National Weather Service reports that a maximum of 22 in.
of rain fell in 2 hours and 45 minutes. An average amount of
more than 9 in. fell on the entire 80-mi2 watershed.
