We had some really, really weird rain events this summer. Remember the spring rains in Texas? The flooding rains in WV, Ellicot City MD, Baton Rouge? Here in VA Beach (officially at the airport) we got 6.98 inches in about 90 minutes in July. That was one helluva rain storm.
It’s been so bad here (relatively speaking since were spoiled by desert weather conditions) we started saying we might as well go live in Seattle!
