An unprecedented, record-breaking summer of rainfall continues, dumping heavy rain that lasted for about five hours Sunday night over parts of Putnam, Kanawha and Fayette counties. Between 2 and 6 inches fell during that time and resulted in significant flooding, especially in southeast Kanawha and Fayette counties. Eyewitness News said Charleston recorded almost 4 and a half inches of rain during this time, and it marked the third wettest day on record, only behind the devastating Garrison Avenue flood downpour in July 1961 and Aug. 3, 1958. Charleston’s record for the most rainfall in a summer came in 1958 and the city is within a half inch of breaking that record in 2022.
