On Wednesday, Columbus and Toledo, Ohio, joined the growing list of U.S. cities whose wettest year on record is now 2011.
Columbus and Toledo started Wednesday on a wet note with 0.55 and 0.36 of an inch of rain, respectively, falling.
That amount of rain is typically not noteworthy, but in Wednesday's case it made 2011 each city's wettest year on record.
The yearly rainfall total for Columbus now stands at 53.55 inches, surpassing the previous wettest year of 1990 and its 53.16
Similar records have already been established in numerous other communities throughout the Midwest and Northeast.

We've lived in our current home for 5 years, and the sewers have backed up 3 times. We finally had to install a $2500 ejector pit to try and stop the city's sewers from backing up into our basement. We're sick of seeing our neighbor's waste matter on our basement floor.
