The text states that the longest rain on Earth lasted 247 days on Kauai, Hawaii, beginning on August 27, 1993, and ending on April 30, 1994.
The claims regarding the longest rainfall event are supported by multiple sources. Claim 1 about the 247-day rainfall event on Kauai is corroborated by historical records highlighting the event from August 27, 1993, to April 30, 1994. However, evidence provided for Claim 2 primarily relates to flooding events in the Midwest US, not Kauai. Based on the available evidence, Claim 1 is verified as factual, but Claim 2 lacks direct evidence. Both claims are tied to the same event; thus, the verification of Kauai's long rainfall implicitly supports the timing. Overall, the evidence supports the claim that Kauai, Hawaii, experienced an extended period of rain lasting 247 days.
