This time last summer, Hall County residents were repeating a famous refrain from classic rock band Credence Clearwater Revival: “Who will stop the rain?” Nearly 27 inches of rain fell in Gainesville between June and August last year, washing out roads, closing parks and costing local governments millions of dollars. “We had a persistent trough of low pressure in 2013 that promoted development of long-lived and intense rainfall,” said Thomas Mote, a professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Georgia and a specialist in hydro-climatology.
