It was steady drizzle the 1st 1.5 miles to the dentist's but after my cleaning the remaining 5 miles were free of precip (but lots of standing water on the ground so still plenty wet).

Last night was raining rock solid the whole way home, even the stuff I piled around the water heater last night wasn't all dry this morning by the time I had to leave.

Also, my 7 yr old daughter had a hard wipeout last night, she always takes the last corner to our street home from school very hot, and last night in the downpour I was thinking 'wow she's laying it down farther than ever' and then BONK slide scream. Only scrapes, no real gushing blood. I was surprised she didn't shred one knee of her pants (and the knee itself for that matter). The bars on her bike turned perpendicular but that was easy enough to straighten, and the visor snapped off her helmet, I don't know if my wife put the visor back on this morning.
