The Weather Channel Lies and More not-so Good Vibrations

The Weather Channel Lies and More not-so Good Vibrations.....

August 4th -- Just when I thought it was safe....the Weather Channel predicted 0% chance of precipitation until it increases to 30% at 10:00pm -- well, they were just flat out WRONG

We just had a torrential downpour, but unlike last night it only lasted for about 20 minutes. Nevertheless, more rain....just when everything had finally dried out from last night, of course!

Here is the view of my street, with the second and third shots showing the rain starting to flood the gutters.

Ugh, more water is pooling on the second-floor sub-flooring.

The bucket is filling up again....

 Actually more buckets are filling up again....

 

 Water is pooling on the first floor addition again...

 And, in the middle of all of this rain, I hear this really weird noise, like water running inside the house.  So, off I go to investigate and I discover that the downstairs toilet tank is cracked, the carpet is soaked, and there is water on the floor. This can only be explained by more vibrations, right?  I mean seriously how does a toiiet tank that has probably been in the house for over 50 years just decides to crack and leak at this particular time?   

I shut off the water supply and laugh, because hey, this toilet will be replaced soon and I'm back in full-out uber-zen mode!  

Oh well, I'm off to sweep the pooling, standing water off the main floor addition -- a little post-dinner exercise never hurt, right?  Right?


The Weather Channel now reports 0% chance of rain for the rest of the evening.  If it rains again tonight, I am so done with you, Weather Channel!
