Seattle doesn't typically get downpours, but more of a mist type "rain." However, that's changing, too, as my son in Seattle area said it was raining so hard yesterday that he couldn't even get out of the work van. Maybe he wasn't enthused about that particular job. LOL We've had rain/thunder here in FL for the past month, which is usual for here during the summer months. However, what isn't so cool is that the TV was out for 3 hours last night. Ah well, more sewing time!
