Whoa! Wow! It's Raining Hard

This afternoon, about 3:00, I was about to go into a meeting and my boss said, "It's raining, really, really hard."

I had to double back and look outside just to confirm. Sure enough, hard, driving rain.

It's been on and off since then (mostly off) but for the last hour or so we had a heavy soaker. It just stopped.

We are on the northern border of extreme drought. I'm not sure how we've avoided a more severe rating, because I don't think we've had a serious rainfall since June, and even that was nothing much. Stats show that we've been below average since last November.

We need another few days like this. The forecast looks favorable. Fingers crossed.
