Rain, rain, rain


We've been getting a record amount of rain these past few days, and it's not over yet. The good news is that neither the basement nor the studio skylight is leaking, both of which have caused problems before we got them repaired. The repairs are surviving their toughest test yet, knock on my wooden head.

There's a lot of flooding of coastal rivers and even some valley flooding. But it's not as bad as some years back with the Willamette itself flooded and the marina downtown rose to the walk level that's usually far above.


A large number of myths are associated with rain and weather. Also wrong information, such as raindrops being tear-shaped, which they are not. Here are some resources:

Are raindrops shaped like teardrops?

Why raindrops are different sizes.
