Rain, rain all night and morning so things are fresh and clean and the fog is cleared out. Still grey, though. I guess more light rain might come. The TV dudes and dudettes are predicting rain for Saturday that "could cause floods!"
I could be wrong, but I don't think I am: the last time the rivers here actually rose to flood level in modern times was in the early '90's and it really was scary, the rain just kept slamming down non-stop for days and days. We were living in the neighborhood where we raised the kids; our home was one block from a tremendous river and we were on the verge of evacuation orders (I was not pleased).
One day I took the kids, they were very young, and we stood on the levee and took pictures (I kept singing When the Levee Breaks, Led Zeppelin, to them  we were giggling like mad). The river was precisely level with the levee. Freeeaky. But somebody somewhere did something that caused the water level to drop down enough so the entire region didn't flood and it was all good.
So, yeah, I feel for those poor weather reporters in this state because aside from the bizarrely hot temperatures we had this summer, which were a true anomaly, there isn't usually much variation.
