An open letter to the weather wizard

[DeniseGoldberg]

OK weather wizard, it's really time to stop. I just saw a report that says the town that I live in has already received 10.5 inches of rain in this storm, and the forecast for tonight calls for another 1 or 2 inches. I know that we needed water (it was a pretty dry winter and spring) - but this much water all at once isn't a good answer.

Yes, I really would have liked to get out on my bike this weekend, but this isn't about my biking desires - this is about the people who are flooded out of their homes. There are already areas experiencing flooding, and it sounds like the rivers won't crest (and there are at least four that are predicted to crest at two or more feet above flood stage) until tomorrow night or Tuesday. That's scary.

I hope that all of our TE women in this area are OK.
