Been here too long to depend on weather forecasters, best to use the statements above, rain almost daily from June to Oct. One thing that is good here is that if it is raining wait and it will be gone in 45 minutes, and you can still have a perfect day.

So true since early this am radar showed big yellow and orange masses coming our way but nothing happened not a drop of rain and the next time I looked it was on the east coast.go figure

Actually, in our area it's been raining every day, either at 2pm or @4pm. You can almost set your watch to it. Kind of a bummer, and really, really nasty storms that almost always knock out the power. We lost power due to a blown transformer this past Saturday. A funnel cloud touched down yesterday about a mile from our home. I was rushing back from the store thinking, Hmm, that looks like a strange sky, I wonder if I will see a tornado.

I didn't see any funnel cloud, but you really couldn't see anything at all, with the rain bands and all. I've been waiting my whole life to see a tornado (from a DISTANCE!)...Maybe I'll see one when we move to NC!

rains everyday at 4pm usually, but the rain seems tp be playing catch-up, since the drought.
It rained ten inches in my area last week. woowoo!

I wonder how many inches below normal we are. Anyone know?
