Shreveport-Bossier isn't the only region experiencing record rainfall this month.
Central Arkansas is on track for a new yearly record for rainfall. With two months left, precipitation totals for 2009 are already less than 8 inches shy of the current record of 75.54 inches, set in 1882.
National Weather Service records show that rainfall since January 1 at the Little Rock Airport totals 68.26 inches this year. Merely average rainfall in November and December would put 2009 well over the 1882 record.
The NWS reports Shreveport recorded 20.35 inches of rainfall for October and easily smashed the old record of 14.02 inches set during the October of 1949.
