No, I didn't think you were making light This is so unusual for us to have this much rain! We normally get maybe 3 or 4 days in a summer of rain and then suffer through the heat. But the ground is so saturated right now that we've had flooding in places where it doesn't ever flood. A couple of neighborhoods were evacuated day before yesterday and I felt awful for the people they had on the news--many elderly people, family members helping to retrieve photos and mementos--and their home owner's insurance doesn't cover the flood damage.
