Which wouldn't be such a big deal except that this is pretty much how it's looked since Saturday. This big storm just parked itself over us and has been whaling on us ever since.
I was kinda dreading leaving work tonight, because I have to, you know, wait at a bus stop to go home, and buses actually had really good reasons to be late today. And where I work, the sound of the rain pelting the metal roof provided a steady reminder of how hard it was raining out all day.
Then, about an hour ago, I noticed ... the sound got quieter. I looked out the window, saw that the rain had let up just a little, and then just grabbed my stuff and bolted. I had an umbrella, but that was probably the first time all day that the wind wouldn't have destroyed it.
I was really lucky because I only had to wait for the bus like three minutes. The rain was kinda chilly and I changed as soon as I got home.
I really can't complain since two towns away people are being evacuated from their homes 'cause their streets have turned into running rivers, never mind people who live near an actual river. Traffic is crazy because some major roads have been flooded and closed off, so people were sort of faced with "you can't get there from here" situations. And Tom said the theater where he's rehearsing had like a half-inch of water in the lobby and the changing rooms.
Luckily it's supposed to be sunny for awhile starting tomorrow.
But yeah. Definitely the kind of excitement most people would not prefer.
