The first time I visited my wife's parents in San Fransisco, they told us
they expected that it would rain all week, and that that would put a damper
on our visit. Then I found out that their concept of rain is a dense sea
fog. In contrast, we had two inches of rainfall within about an hour and a
half on Friday morning, and are currently about 10 inches above normal.
Louisville receives about 50 inches of rainfall/year. Don't tell anyone.
As soon as the west finds out, they'll be complaining that we don't have a
right to so much precipitation, and sue for damages. lol
