Rain, rain, come again

I live in the Washington DC area, on the Maryland side of the beltway. For those people who envision Washington as hot in the summer, or who are fixated on global warming, this is the second summer in a row with above average rainfall. Normally we are hazy, hot, and humid. This year it seems we are either basking in gorgeous summer days, or soaking wet and flooding. Once again, we are also focused on extreme weather. Hello Bonnie and Charley. Actually, one of my colleagues commented that the folks who select the names should have had a sense of humor -- then the third named storm of the season would have been Clyde, and today and tomorrow, Florida would be hit with Bonnie and Clyde.
