It’s not that our eaves are clogged, it’s that this much water came down and the eaves were overwhelmed.
I woke up around 4am and the rain was falling…and as I lay there listening to it, it became heavier, and heavier, and heavier. I thought about getting up to close the sliding window to the deck off the bedroom, but there wasn’t any wind at the time so I figured things inside wouldn’t suffer too much splash. I was mostly right, it was just a bit damp by the time I got up two hours later.
The rain didn’t let up all day, a colleague I was speaking with on the Island, in Courtenay, said it had just been a few showers there, so I guess the clouds had basically parked themselves over the North Shore Mountains and decided to dump on my little pocket of the world.
And they are still here.
This morning I was saying that one good thing about this pandemic has been that I haven’t had those 4am wakeups where I have to get out the door and onto an early ferry for a day in the ick.
Except I just agreed to one of those in a couple of weeks.
I’m looking forward to the work and the people…the weather and the early morning ferry….not so much.
Let’s hope this weather hasn’t settled in for the long haul just yet.
Fall has arrived.
