“Have you ever seen the rain…”

…yes, yes Creedence Clearwater Revival, I have.

Today as I was goofing around on the Internet I heard a gentle rain start outside. Then it got louder. And the covered windows in my room started to rattle. Still sitting at my computer I opened a bookmark to Environment Canada. “SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT”. Ok then, time to take a peek outside.

Yikes!

After it calmed down a bit I reached out the door and dunked a ruler in our swamped balcony. Just over 2.5″ in the middle, closer to 2.75″ at the edge.

 

 

Whatever drain tubes we have out there… I better make sure they’re not clogged. If the rain hadn’t scaled back it would have flooded our living room in about another 15 minutes… and we live on the third floor đŸ™‚
