"Heavy rain! Heavy rain! Heavy rain!"

All right, channel 7, I get it.

They're really hammering away at tonight's forecast. I got out the empty beer cans for the recycling.

Weather porn. Here in Florida they screech about it being too dry, and then too wet, and lighting in the area, and hurricanes nearby, etc. Most of the time its just another weather event. Not a big deal, but be very afraid!!!!!

...we are in a 20 year drought. Dead trees all around us and months without rain.

Other than that, everything is just peachy!
