The Planetary Society has a great story about methane storms on Titan.
Apparently "severe methane convective storms accompanied by
intense precipitation may occur in Titan under the right environmental
conditions….Raindrops of 1-5 millimeters in radius produce
precipitation rainfalls on the surface as high as 110 kilograms per
square meter and are comparable to flash flood events on Earth."
Meanwhile, in Boston, we’re getting plain ole H2O flooding—not on
the Charles, but certainly street flooding. So why doesn’t the
Charles flood, even in this year of record rainfall? Universal Hub
says it may be because of land the Army Corps of Engineers bought up in the 1970s.
