This year has been Virginia's rainiest year on record.
Preliminary figures from the state clima-tologist's office in Charlottesville show the state has received an average of nearly 62 inches of rain so far.
The record was 56-point-two inches set back in 1996.
Rainfall records were broken around the state this year, erasing memories of last year's historic drought.
Charlottesville's total is up to near 73 inches, breaking the old record from 19-37.
Staunton and Hopewell also have broken records -- and officials say more localities likely have seen record rainfall.
