its like someone is turning over buckets of water and large globs are falling." It that unusual there? Yes, very unusual. Contrary to popular belief, Seattle tends to have rains that are a fine mist/drizzle.........you can stand outside for twenty minutes and just feel a bit damp. In fact, people hardly use umbrellas here and places like NYC, DC, Houston etc get a lot more rain during the year than we do. We just get it more evenly distributed so that we have many more cloudy days. However, the exception to the norm is when the Pineapple Express blows into town from Hawaii like it did yesterday. The PE is what gives LA its huge storms in the winter. Usually the PE doesn't get this far north but when it does it combines with the cool, wet air from Alaska and we get a deluge. Normal rainfall for November is around 5.9 inches. We've had nearly 13 inches so far this month. UGH! When it rains, it pours. <g> I bet OK and West TX could use some of this rain.
