Talk:September 2023 southwestern U.S. floods

Las Vegas map
This map was being presented as rainfall totals from September 1-2, but at, if I click on "historical" then set the start and end dates to September 1 and September 3 at midnight, I get much lower totals. The original tweet calls it "monsoon totals across the valley"; the monsoon in Vegas starts around early July and in 2023 included Hurricane Hilary. Also, the basemap is Google Maps terrain view, so it's not public domain, even if the NWS additions are. It might be possible to regenerate a free version from the WRH link provided above, but I'm not sure which of the basemaps there are free; the "USA topographic" one certainly is, but damn is it ugly. In any case, the totals are less impressive. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:10, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
