There is significant water vapor in the troposphere, but, little reaches the ground. When it does it floods in torrential down pours. There isn't anything 'normal' about that climate.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Thunderstorms cut through south-central Indiana Tuesday night, spawning at least two tornadoes.
Radar showed two tornadoes on the ground south of Indianapolis about 9:30 p.m., National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Tucek said. One was near Princes Lakes, north of Columbus, while the other was sighted near St. Paul on the Rush-Decatur county line. Widespread damage was reported, and more than 4,000 people were without electricity due to the storms. Duke Energy reported most of the outages were in Shelby County just southeast of Indianapolis and Wayne County in eastern Indiana.
Earlier in the day, the weather service said a small tornado touched down near Waverly, where television reports showed several trees down and buildings damaged.
