Well, I guess the experts at the National Weather Service must not know what they are talking about.

This is nothing. I remember back in the mid 90s it rained non-stop day and night for two weeks. I ended up with termites.

Truth can be stranger than fiction.
Well, that poster did allude to the "PWNMO" thread by opening with "here's another one of those..." so I think the title was intentional.

Right after I posted that I love rainy days, it rained so hard that there is a huge leak in our living room window and we can't find where exactly it's leaking from! Our cat was lounging on the window sill and all of a sudden he started getting wet. We were in the dining room eating dinner...

Needless to say, the cat was mad but also curious at the same time, and he launched himself into our closed blinds to find where the noise was coming from, and the crash alerted us to the leak.

I still love rainy days - but not when our whole window and window sill are puddling with water! hahaha, just thought I should share.

Yikes! It might look ghetto but I hope you covered it with some plastic!

The drainpipe on my other house (in Sterling) blew off once in a bad storm too. It was an easy fix but just a pain until I could get to it.

OP, I don't mind the rain so much -- at least it's balmy. things are sprouting up. We have a metal roof so the rain on the roof at night makes me to sleep.
