We're hanging in there here in Bluffton, SC. Hours and hours of pounding rain, flash flood warnings and tornado watches and warnings is awfully stressful. Now, being nighttime, it's even worse. The heavy rain does lighten up from time to time, but then picks up again.

The lagoon in our backyard has been rising, but so far so good. Local news (WSAV - Savannah) says our area got 7.2" of rain *so far* as of 11 pm. Much more to come tomorrow, etc.

Watching the rain at night in the lights - coming down sideways and going in all directions - reminds me of the nor'easter snowstorms we always got up in Connecticut. The raindrops are moving the same way the snow would move during a nor'easter... if that makes any sense. ;-)
