Death Records Now

Normally, when you set an all-time record daily rainfall for any given city, massive flooding occures. Offically, about 8 inches of rain fell on Aug. 14th. However, I am looking online, and there are very little news stories on the houses flooded with feet of water, or deaths, which are normally assoicated with this type of rain. If you look at the all-time record rainfall for most cities in the U.S., it does not even approch 7 inches for the day. Wash DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Detroit, along with many more cities have never seen 7 inches of rain in one day. In fact, Central Park has just seen 3 days in the last 141 years with rainfall over 7 inches for a day.

I live in Philly and the reason I can think of is because the rain normally moves and doesn’t stay in one spot yet in south Jersey they had 10" of rain fall because of the rain training over the same area

just think if all this rain came during the colder months we would be in a blizzard

I had a friend kill himself and I was wondering how much of the information regarding his death is public record, and where and how do I get a hold of the info that is avalible to the public.

Deaths and certificates and are matter of pubic record; much would depend on the pubic interest of the deceased, wherein a reporter might delve into as many specifics as they could to get a good story, or just the cause of death on the certificate itself as listed by the Corner’s office, which would typically indicate "Suicide" and what organ(s) that were damaged that initially or what there examination shows caused the death.

Whatever local entity houses death certificates would be the best start, but it would not be limited to that depending upon public interest.
