Hundreds dead as torrential rain sweeps Central America. Tropical Storm Agatha swept across Central America yesterday, bringing torrential rain that killed more than 100 people and opened a 60m-deep sinkhole in Guatemala City which reportedly swallowed up a three-storey building.
All of these locations receive 25 inches of rain or less per year. The epicenter of the rain shadow is a matter of debate, but it is likely somewhere to the north east of the town of Sequim, and only receives about 13 of rain per year, about the same as relatively dry cities like Los Angeles, or Salt Lake City.
