Monsoooooooooooooon
It's raining here. Alot. Am I a bad artist for not wanting to go out to take pictures in this?
That's the view of our porch roof from the kitchen window. The big stream of water is what's coming off the house roof onto the porch roof. It's kind of a clever system actually. The house rain gutters on that side empty into that trough on the porch roof. That empties into the porch rain gutter which drains into a french drain somewhere in the yard. But the amount of water coming off the house roof gives you some idea of just how hard it's raining. And it's been raining like this for over an hour.
And then there's this short term forecast courtesy of NOAA:
WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT MUCH OF EASTERN WASHINGTON AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NORTH IDAHO. THROUGH 1030 AM...THE HEAVIEST RAINS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN AND THE WASHINGTON PALOUSE.
My house is about 2 1/2 miles from the Washington Palouse. Close enough to really be considered a part of things.
Anyway, once theis clears up (if it ever does) we're thinking of releasing a dove , just to see whether the waters have abated.
