to kingston and was accompan ied by intense lightning activ ity before the storm began the temperature was a humid 89 de but soon fell to 66 degrees these thunderstorms formed in a very humid tropical air mass which gained additional moisture from the circulation around hurricane camilla which was at that time just south of the mississippi river delta the normal rainfall for aug ust is only 294 but
