Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

Okay, it destroyed my house, but its so beautiful!

To keep things perfectly honest, I love the rain. I love the smells of wet asphalt and concrete, the way it whispers through tree branches, the sound of rain hitting tin or aluminum roofs or awnings, and the cold that typically accompanies it. Being from southern California and spending the majority of my life here, I don't see it often and it is a welcome visitor any time it decides to briefly make an appearance. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way about the rainier seasons here in the southland.

Rain can cause flooding. That is no revelation, but it is a truth that still catches people by surprise when it affects their home or business. Water can intrude upon driveways or yards, which is annoying. It can also, in some scenarios, make its way into or underneath your home. which is more than annoying; it can be devastating or even dangerous. 

When water enters your home, consider it "getting off easy" if it only affects your carpet. Water has a nasty habit of getting inside of walls, potentially causing mold.
