    RAIN?

    As today is my daughter's 10th birthday the weather is very similar. Though it was a different track I spent most of the day in the hospital listening to the windows rattle. I was a Labor Day washout , at least the first half, just like this one. http://www.weather.gov/phi/09042006wss
