When It Rains, It Pours

So I feel a little silly. When asked by practically everyone the typical "How cold is it in Alaska?" question, I've been explaining our lack of extreme cold and mass quantities of rain. However, last night I quickly learned that I hadn't seen how much rain was possible. While over at a friend's house for the evening, a thunderstorm suddenly struck. There was so much rain that the house actually started flooding slightly, which did make me a little nervous. Standing water in a room filled with computers is never a good thing. I'm glad I'm able to say that our house didn't take the same beating Jazmin's house did and in fact stayed quite dry. You don't all have to fear that I'm going to be swept away in a flood though, because I was informed that much rain is quite rare.
