A LOT OF RAIN CAUSES FLOODS.
IF A LOT A RAIN HAS CAUSED FLOODS IN THE PAST IN CERTAIN AREAS (INCLUDING NELLIE’S BASEMENT) IT MIGHT AGAIN.
TAKE YOUR USUAL PRECAUTIONS.
YOU KNOW LIKE TURNING TOWARDS THE SKY AND EXCLAIMING, “DAMN, IT’S GETTING DARK!”
ANYWAY, WAIT… Oh, great. Thanks Bob. Really? The Caps Lock was just Stuck? I thought we did that because this info was so IMPORTANT.
No.
What about the ominous language?

…and a lot of rain in areas that have way too much paving causes worse floods.

Already lost power once in Pine Brook (on the Morris / Essex border for those not in the know) and at times the rain and winds reminded me of Hurricane Andrew back in ’99.

Lightning just hit a tree across the street and blew the bark off! Photos to follow (once the storms cease).

Hurricane Andrew was in 1992. You’re probably thinking of Hurricane Floyd from 1999.
