It isn't just rain that is annoying, by the way. We've had so much rain that there is serious flooding. I live on a hill, so you don't have to worry about me. But one of my helpers/students lives by the Chena River, and had no water since their well was flooded, most of their yard was underwater, their basement was filling up, and of course then the furnace couldn't be run so they had no heat.
Here are pictures from the News Miner.
And amazingly enough, a wikipedia article:

Just so you all didn't think I was just whining about "normal" rain.
Hey, if I wanted to live in SE Alaska (or Eugene, OR), I would have moved there! I hate rain!
