If you asked someone from Portland, they would say electricity...
The past two days have been beautiful and sunny, but chilly, here on the Central Oregon Coast. Rivers are starting to recede, just in time for another period of rain.
Lol ! Rain 🌧. Oh gee !
( it’s sunny and 70 here in San Fran bay with no rain in sight )
The people who perished in the flood died because they refused to acknowledge God or seek His forgiveness. Noah, on the other hand, is described as righteous, blameless, and obedient in that he "walked with God" (Genesis 6:9).

“Rained harder than a horse tinkling on a ceee-ment slab.”
The phrase is, ‘Rained harder than a COW p*ssin’ on a flat rock!’ ;)
Well, in Wisconsin, anyway! :)
If you want ‘atmosphere’ with your river, try paddling down The Mighty Mississippi! ;)
Not pertinent to rain, but my favorite saying is from “The Missouri Breaks” movie, 1976. Rancher is helping a cow with a breech calf giving birth and remarks “Slipperier than snot on a doorknob.”
I watched the movie in a theater in Puente Alto, Chile and roared at that line. The audience turned and looked at me wondering “What’s with the crazy gringo?” The English translation on the screen said “slippery.” That truly was a case of lost in translation.
“That truly was a case of lost in translation.”
Cute story! :)
The Seattle area gets an average of 38 inches of rain per year which is just average for the United States. But we only see the sun around 150 days a year. And most of the sunny days are between June and September. So the other nine months are fairly dreary, but even in the winter we can usually spend the day outside because of the moderate temperatures.
