According to looking out the window at the Stranger Weathercenter, RAINPOCALYPSE 2011 IS HAPPENING!!! (Cliff Mass’ blog is un-updated—not even the typo that commenter starsandgarters pointed out in Slog comments!) We’ve sent someone out to investigate, and will update with their report.
UPDATE!
“It’s like a dishwasher outside,” Christopher Frizzelle reports.
Everyone!! Cut you throats now!!! We won’t survive!!! AAARRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
Reporting in from Magnolia
Damn, and I thought it was pitbull puppies and unicorns falling from the sky …
It *is* a good solid rain, but nothing to write home about yet.
Crap! Crap! Crap! Are our supplies low enough that I need to start killing and eating weaker people on the life raft yet?
It started Tues. here and it has been a dishwasher all day. Enjoy.
@5, why wait? Start killing now and avoid the rush!!
Bethany, sorry for the delay in replying on the other thread, and thanks for reading me. 🙂 I think you should have sic’d the typo. I work with copy editors daily; much love for people who have to work with someone else’s text in a fast-paced situation. I nag because I care.
@8: I know! I am usually a typo tyrant myself. Thanks for caring!
