You could have some of the rain we had a couple weeks ago. About 6
inches of rain on two separate occasions about a week apart. The second
one dropped 6+ inches in about 4 hours. Streets turned into rivers,
basements flooded and collapsed. Most of the residential damage was in
the inner city where folks can least afford to do any repairs. No flood
insurance and they're talking about razing homes. A sinkhole opened up
at one intersection and swallowed a brand new Escalade - about 20 ft
down. The driver got out OK but he'd just filled up with gas and didn't
turn off the engine. The thing was still running 24 hours later - just
sitting there idling.

We could really use a bit more rain around here (south-east US).
We've had occasional thunderstorms late in the day, but all we're
really getting is humidity reaching the tipping over point where it
storms down. It's been hot and humid, but that's just the moisture in
the ground getting baked out.
There's no net gain in rainfall. We're not there yet, but we're slowly
heading towards drought again. Maybe the fall will be wetter and we'll
dodge a bullet again.
But if it keeps on like this, 2011 is probably going to be a repeat of
2007.

We need more rain here.
This winter is looking to be the driest on record.
