The ABC 33/40 Weather Watcher for Bessemer, Jeff Drake, reports 1.35 inches of rain in only an hour and 15 minutes from a thunderstorm, or maybe a combo of storms, which formed and built right over him and stayed over the Bessemer area over an hour before finally drifting off to the SE. Because of that downpour, the temperature plunged from 92 to 75.
