I think we are all pulling for you and are most happy you didn’t get hit with a major hurricane. Yay! You bit the bullet. Meanwhile here in the Southwest we are dealing with months of life threatening record heat, drought, wildfires, and when we aren’t in drought conditions we deal with thunderstorms, tornadoes and hail far more damaging than Irene with ‘nary a whimper. No 24/7 news coverage, no whining, no drama.

Right now, rain is falling at more than an inch an hour. This afternoon, we will be expecting heavier rain and gusts up to 80mph. We are not out of the woods, yet. Our ground is already saturated, and the water has no place to go except in our streets and basements.
I was in Texas just a week ago. I know what you in the Southwest are going through. I wish we could share some of this rain with you, because you sure need it more than we do.
If I had the power, I’d give you guys a gentle, somewhat steady rain for a couple days per week.
