Well, I'm sorry your not getting your catastrophic wind event ( I myself am not ). However mundane it is for you, it will be welcomed by many for the rain we will get. Don't get me wrong, I love a good storm, but I don't want trees down all over the place around my property or on my house, and I'm sure many will feel the same way.
Bring on the rain.... And better yet, let's get this pattern going for the winter so we can bring on the snow!!!
