Crazy weather!

I experienced something today I could never have imagined. Today was forecast for rain, no big deal, right? Well, where I work, we got what is normally 4 months worth of rain at this time of the year, in one afternoon!

For a while, my DH and I, who work in the same building which was in a flooded area, were afraid we would not be able to get to my son's preschool, 1/2 mile away, to pick him up because all the streets surrounding our building were completely under water!

Water was leaking through the windows of our building, and a nearby building's roof collapsed from the water! At my son's school, in one of the classrooms the overhead pipes burst from the pressure and flooded part of the building!

Even in hurricanes that have affected our area, we have never seen so much rain at once!

We've been getting a ton of rain the past few days and we're supposed to get more tonight. I love it. You typically don't have to shovel rain. If we had the same precipitation and the temperatures were where they usually are, I'd be under six feet of snow. Of course, it does make me think that getting the snow thrower all tuned up and ready wasn't nessisarily a good investment this year... but it's supposed to get colder tomorrow and they're telling us we'll wind up with 8" of snow by tomorrow night. Woo hoo- it's tobogganing time!

Wow, 4 months of rain in one afternoon!

It's been raining here everyday for over a month. Well it is Portland, Oregon...
Tomorrow we're supposed to have winds up to 65 mph!

Yeah this weather is something else. I wore a shortsleeve t-shirt today and by the time I got to work I had to take the jacket I had on off it was so warm. The temp keeps going up and down. Cold one day, warm the next.
