Can I tell you that I truly hate the rain this year? Well I thought I would be over the rain compared to what we got in England when we lived there but I think this spring has taken the cake in rainfall.
Three weeks ago we got about 6 inches of rain in a matter of 24 hours and we had during that time lost power for about 12 of it. No power = bucketing out the sump pump all night in order to not have a flooded basement. Well bucketing or no bucketing we had water in the basement.
Yesterday started the rain again and this is supposed to continue for 3 days, yes you read it right, 3 whole days. We are supposed to get 6 more inches of rain during this whole thing. You know when it is bad when people are going out the store and buying canoe's and life rafts to get around their houses since the water is so high.
While both of these storms have hit us hard the aftermath is the worts. We live near the Passaic River and it crested two days after the first storm and is expected to crest on Thursday this week which means homeowners will be in trouble for longer than the rain storm.
I am dreading going home tonight in fear that our basement has got water in it. When Scott and I left this morning we were rain free in the basement and I hope luck stays with us this storm.

As Finn would sing - Rain, Rain Go Away! Come Again Another Day! Boo for rain :(
Are you sure you're not still living in London? Cause we're getting a ton of rain here too...sigh...
Scott said last night we should have never moved home since we get the same weather as London. You are so right Liane.
