Rain and more rain.

Both Gravity and October have lived in VA since 1980, so almost 30 years. With the exception of tropcial storms such as Isabell (where the rain comes in many inches all at once and then quickly disappears), neither of them have seen so much rain before. The last storm dumped over 1.5 inches in only a few hours. Every time it rains now, lakes form all over the acre+ of land. The dogs want it to stop - the humans want it to stop - the cats do not care but they miss the sunshine.
