Stop whining we get 16 inches in a day at times ;-) . Of course sand 
drains well and it's gone at my place in 30 minutes after it stops - no 
mud. It's the soil and not so much the rain that makes the difference. 
When you get up into the confluence of the Tennessee, Ohio and 
Cumberland river valleys - in most places you have a choice: yellow clay 
or red clay.  A week of rain of about a half inch a day can saturate the 
soil and any more turns that area into a big mud hole - especially in 
the spring when the ground starts out damp to start with. That's the 
problem. I suspect it's no different in Oklahoma.
