i really enjoyed the most miserably intense bit of it earlier because i was in bed with my laptop warming me watching leveson and with no need to leave the house, but even from this cosy perspective the sheer unstopping relentlessness of it becomes depressing

When we first moved in here - in fact the day Neil Young was on TV playing in Hyde Park - we had the most fucking awful downpour that caused the trough on top of the bay window to fill with water and pour into the living room. We spent the evening with towels and buckets trying to mop up the stuff before it got in the electrics. We've had it fixed since obv. but every time it's rained since I've been really terribly anxious. This week hasn't been great.

We nearly went to that NY gig - after seeing Springsteen bring the place down the night before. If we had, we've come back to the worst mess I can imagine. I'm even still anxious about Neil Young's music.

I pretty much don't leave the house except to drive to work so I quite like the rain, anything that postpones having to mow the lawn is a good thing in my book.

Hmph. After, what - four weeks? five weeks? - of zero sun, I've temporarily swapped England for Ireland, where it's just the same, but colder. Means I will miss the brief respite this week.

I can remember one year going to a rain sodden Newquay that practically never stopped raining only to see reports of a northern mini-heatwave from a caravan where rain patting against the fibreglass is louder than seagulls and then returning back to miserable pissy rain in the north, where normal service had been resumed.

This particular intense but relatively narrow band of rain we had today seems to stretch from Trondheim all the way out to the Azores. I just think that's neat.

Proper miserable pissy rain here in Minnesota today, making me pine for the old homeland. It'll probably turn into a prairie thunderstorm later mind which you don't really get in the UK, at least not the bits I ever lived in.

Curious. Worst/scariest flooding I've ever driven through yesterday, on the Essex/Suffolk border, in a kind of "I wouldn't normally drive through that puddle but I'm not really sure what else I can do" sort of way. Eventually, stopped trying to get anywhere in particular beyond zig-zagging to *anywhere* that might be less wet.

I left the landing window open, the roller blind was flapping like crazy and there were some leaves on my stairs. Quite fair to call this fucker as a named storm system, but it doesn't sound like 90 mph wind here, yet.
A “tornado watch” zone was issued for Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland and northern England by the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (Torro) on Sunday afternoon. That means a “strong tornado” is possible in those regions.
