I mean, really really raining.
There's a river along the side of my house and a lake in my back yard. The ground is saturated. We already had major flooding last week. Where is all this rain coming from? Doesn't it know where all the wildfires are? They're not here.

@BarBaraPrz I've been following flooding here for last few weeks and it is multiple states even ones with mountains. Just makes no sense.

Lucky you. My "river" is still there but not as wide, however the "lake" has soaked down through the ground.

@BarBaraPrz - You had a lot of rain. It's still too hot here and dry, but this is going to change at the end of the week.

Well, my basement usually gets some water when it rains normally, but I haven't dared to check it out yet today.

I don't think it cares. We're getting rain here too. It's our rainy season.

It would be great if the rain was attracted to the wildfires
We have a wild fire burning here
60 miles from us
It's burning under the ground.
In a peat bog
It could burn for a long time
