Rains Cigars and Bets Pay Off in May Rain
In Decatur on May 10, Cal Waggoner 90, a retired bank employee, celebrated a rare rain day that fulfilled a 48 year bet that it would rain in DeKalb on May 19. Rain fell steadily since midnight, with at least an inch by 7 a.m. Flooded underpasses and intersections marked the weather’s payoff, the 37th time Waggoner has won. He says bets rarely amounted to much, often a few cigars or a few dimes, mostly quarters. His brother first started the tradition around 1903.
