in a downpour of rain

it doesn't rain here like it does in most other places. For instance, where you live, you probably have rain that lasts for hours, or days. We have rain that lasts for minutes. A storm moves over, unloads a bit of water, some wind, and then disappears.

 

We get, on average, 5 inches of rain per year. Unless you get lucky, and you get a storm directly over your head that delivers a downpour.

 

hoping my friends in Vermont and other parts of New England are recovering from their rain this weekend.
