Thumbs down WTF?! More RAIN.

So month-to-date we've had between 6 and 9 inches of rain around Chicagoland. In the month of August we're only supposed to get about 4-4.5". Now we're almost double that amount and the month isn't over yet..... and it's STILL raining.

How much more will it take? Enough already, we get the point. It can STOP raining now.

glad to see i'm not the only one ready to pull my ******* hair out at this weather. we closed on our house on friday and this horseshit rain has made the move in much more troublesome than need be. if i'm not wet then i'm getting attacked by all the bugs the standing water brings around, and the humidity has been terrible also. go figure i take a rare work week off to get moved in and its crappy out every day.
