It's Raining

Here's some statistics from the weather station in Puyallup, Washington:

Rainfall last hour: .05 inches
Rainfall since midnight: .63 inches
Rainfall yesterday: .32 inches
Rainfall month-to-date: 2.32 inches
Rainfall year-to-date: 3.62 inches

"And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights." [Genesis 7:12]

Now it's been raining pretty steadily since yesterday morning around here and I've just got to wonder just how much of a fucking deluge that must have been. The raindrops must have been leaving divots in the lawn. If they were even separate drops. I'm inclined to imagine that just about everything was flattened to a pancake within the first ten minutes of rainfall, and washed away within the first hour.
