(not today of > course) We try to tell the Californians that! ;^) Actually, there are quite a few cities in the US that get a little more rain on average that we do; they just tend to get it in a few, heavy dumps rather than spread out acroiss the calendar in dribs and drabs like we do. If you want lots of rain, just head into the coastal mountains in BC, or come down to the Olympic peninsula west of Seattle - the Olympic Rain Forest can get 300~400 inches of rain in a year quite easily! > Yes, I was very dissappointed with the storms down here.

I've never been somewhere to see the really impressive storms firsthand, though I did visit Arizona a few decades ago during the summer monsoon season, very pretty and noisy! - an example of the rare, but nice summer-type storms we can get in Seattle. http://bobqat.com/Essays/GreenlakeCb/GreenlakeCb.html - and nighttime storm from last summer. http://bobqat.com/2004-06-18_Lightning_A.jpg > Enjoy the heat this week I'll try... though I'm a cool and damp fan for the most part. =) Bob ^,,^
