…It’s been a pretty rainy summer so far but the last few days have set records

I don’t mind rain, especially when it falls at night but when it comes down in buckets during the day and day after day, it starts to get depressing. Today I think we set a record for the 5th highest day for accumulation in the last 100 years. Luckily our basement stayed dry but many people weren’t as lucky and to top it off the power went off across the city. We only had to endure an outage for 1 1/2 hours but my daughter was without power for over 6 hours. For awhile our backyard looked like a lake but when I got around to taking photos there were only a few puddles left.
