How do you have 59 inches in one month lol. That is pretty much 3 years worth of rain for me here, in the space of 4 weeks. Mental.

I haven't looked at stats, so it's just guesswork on my part. But a good tropical soaker can rack up ~2+ inches pretty easy. Combine that with daily occurence throughout the month of Feb (not out of question for windward Hawaii), and we already get to ~56+.
