We've had quite a lot of precipitation since early December. First there was the record snowfall; now there is lots of rain and record flooding. Here's a clip from yesterday. There was also a good hail-storm in the process.

"He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter His lightning.
They turn around and around by His guidance,
to accomplish all that He commands them
on the face of the habitable world.
Whether for correction or for His land or for love,
He causes it to happen (Job 37:11-13)."
