Work's Work Is Measuring Rain
In December 1968 Hurley G. Work's rain gauge near Highway 146 recorded 1.23 inches. His year total reached 66.5 inches, making 1968 wetter than 1967's 44.1 inches and 1966's 34.1. Houston International Airport showed 61.44 inches, the wettest year there since 1961, with past peaks of 72.86 inches in 1946 and 68.23 in 1959. Work, who has led Rebel Motel operations nine years, began tracking rainfall for the mosquito control district in 1965 after answering a notice seeking volunteers. He now uses a newer wedge-shaped gauge advertised in a magazine, which he prefers for accuracy.
