It is hard to say what is next, growing gills or webbed feet. Last night we had another deluge.  This morning my rainfall total since yesterday afternoon was 5.4 inches.

All you have to is add that to the 12 inches we had in the earlier storm this month to get 17.4 inches of rain for November.  The month is along way from being over.

Four storms this year have delivered roughly 33 inches of rain.  I suspect that is more rain that we got in the first year we lived here.

We are lucky at our home that a big storm like this just slides on by our home.  The White Oak River at this point is in places over a mile wide so it can take the water.  It will be interesting to see high tide today, but the tides have backed off a little already from the extreme one earlier in the week, so I doubt we will have any tide problem.

However, this will set up back in getting the one cleared up once again.  Perhaps this will not be as bad as the double whammy of a nor'easter and a lot of rain.

Having lived on the coast before, I know it is easy to get downpours so it is just one of the things that happens.

I am just glad we are not living in a narrow mountain valley and getting these rain storms.

I just wrote up my thoughts on looking for places to live along the coast.  Lots of rain is just another one of the things you have to factor into the equation of what makes a place livable or not. 

I can stand lots of rain, but I would have a hard time depending on Route 12 as my only access to civilization.  I think it opened yesterday.  I am sure folks south of Nags Head are pretty happy about that.
