Bucketloads of Rain.

that is what the meteorologists are telling us to expect for the next few days.

since mid-morning we have had about 1.25 inches here. we're currently experiencing a lull of only light showers.

"bucketloads" describes this year's rainfall quite accurately. according to the harris county interactive rainfall map, our neighborhood has had just over 5.75 inches of rain in the last 30 days and more than 29.5 inches this year. in other words, bucketloads. a few buckets over the average, in fact.
