You always find people who, despite warnings of catastrophe, will stay and "protect" their property. In my opinion, this is insane. Your life is worth far more than your property. These people also don't take into consideration that those who give their lives to protect these people (firemen, police, etc.), put themselves in harms way by doing so. They could conceivably loose their lives helping those who wish to remain.

The sun was very short-lived!

It has been pouring buckets and buckets since I arrived at work this morning at 7:30 AM. It feels as if you are under a perpetual waterfall.

As I was leaving the hotel, Housekeeping was mopping and wet-vacuuming our atrium, which is beginning to flood. Part of the carpet is saturated beyond words. We just had a very expensive trenching/drainage procedure done to alleviate flooding in the lobby/atrium area.We will now need to have additional work done, as the work done prior is not doing the trick.

As many have said, the upside to all this moisture will be great skiing and beautiful spring and summer flowers, and wonderful, clean air to breathe. The downside for Alan and me will be a miserable allergy season!

Rain, rain....get the heck out of town all ready!
