Okay, right off, all this rain makes you have to pee every five minutes.

But really, things are okay here at my house. I am not underwater, nor without power, and I tried to take pictures of wind but basically, it’s invisible, and you can see that same blowing-palm-tree-shot-they-show-every-friggin-weather-event on the Weather Channel.

Flooding is expected especially in the downtown area where basically it always floods. My side of town is higher so things should be fine unless the ground can’t absorb anymore water and we get some sewage/street drain issues.

Actually this is my favorite part of the coverage, the fact weather dudes and dudettes have to reinvent how to explain what you can expect from Fay in the next several hours. Um.. rain, wind, flooding. Wind, rain. Rain with some gusts of wind, some minor flooding. Rising water and heavy precipitation. Some wet stuff falling from gray things and something is moving the trees alot. Pockets of heavy rainfall and gusts of wind.

I don’t mean to make light of what is going on downstate. Those folks truly are experiencing a flooding emergency and I hope that FEMA some competent governmental relief agency will help soon.

To add fuel to water, my grand daughter has a horrible double-ear infection, so I am here with a feverish toddler who is not happy. The only that could make this unbearable is either no power OR having to listen to Muzak.

The only way to describe this is if your city has a summer rain, with no thunder, but tons of rain. And it lasted for …. well four days. Except the rain comes in bands.

It’s just a huge storm that isn’t letting up. And if you live on the beach, it’s must worse.

So, things are fine. I am fine. Family is fine. House is fine. We’re just wet. And of course I am on the suckest vacation week ever.
