The yearly charts at Weather Underground are stupid, because they start with January, and our rain year starts in July. Like the fiscal year.

As for the flood alerts and wind advisories, that's pretty much what happens when it rains here. People from places with fatal weather are always baffled by the fact that "mere" rainstorms mean power outages and washouts and all that. Rain to them means summer showers, I guess, and they're thinking it takes an ice storm to wipe out the infrastructure. But that's the way it is. Rain is serious business for us.
