That's an incomprehensible amount of rain to a lot of folks. People inland who never even remotely considered that they live on a floodplain and have never seen water in sight of their houses are going to be flooded out.

Happy! Happy! :) :) My buddy got some plywood from Home Depot, happened to be there when the truck pulled in, so I get to go in my truck to help him haul it home. Happy!
I was really, really getting bored sitting here waiting for the axe to fall.
