Hurricane Alex did not visit us on the Gulf Coast, despite showing an early inclination for our fair city. Instead she gifted Houston with rain and lots of it. In the past two days, I've seen plump drops flicking from the skies and turbo-charged dashes of rain and sideways swirling masses of rain.

And today on the drive home, I spotted a new water feature in the neighborhood streets...

Rain comes down, sewer fills up

The forecast for this weekend offers more of the same. That means slogging again through urban ponds and wrestling with stubbornly inverted umbrellas. (And count Houston lucky if no homes or streets flood.)

And I hope that Alex moves on, soon. Fireworks! We need fireworks.
