Link Gregory waited Monday under his umbrella for a LexTran bus to arrive at this stop near Fire Station No. 9 on Richmond Road. The city received another heavy dose of rain, pushing it toward a record year.

Lexington has had the second-wettest year on record and is slightly more than 2 inches from tying the record for precipitation set in 1935, when the city received 65.76 inches. The rainfall helped break records for the wettest years in Louisville and Paducah.
