Well, yes and no.

When we got new gutters several years ago, we got guards that are designed to keep leaves out. They cover the gutter and as the rain runs off the roof, it goes across the guard and then drips into the gutter through a rather narrow opening near the outside edge.

Last time it rained, they appeared to be overflowing, which led me to think debris had gotten into the gutters. I pulled the guard off a section of the gutter and found that there was no debris inside. Turned out the opening that the rain runs through had become clogged. I just blew it clear with a hose. I expect them to perform as intended now.

And, no, we didn't get the rain. It was sunny and 70 degrees yesterday.
