the 300 year rainfall...

During a relative lull in the rainfall today, I went outside to adjust the tarp in preparation for tonight's (hopefully last) storm.

As I sloshed around, I thought of myself as a sailor on the open sea trying to fix a sailing vessel during a storm. I'm a fan of the Discovery Channel and a few weeks ago, I saw a program on Super Vessels that are massive and are built for once in a thousand year storms or something like that.

Anyway, tonight on the news I heard that we are going through a once in 300 years quantity of rainfall.
