I'm over the rain

This has been our life for at least the past month. It has been non-stop and unrelenting rain, rain, fog, rain, and more rain for as long as I can remember... It's impossible to get out of bed in the morning, and it really stinks! Last night at 4am we were awakened to the sound of not only a thunderstorm, but hail. And I'm talking about some big pieces of hail raining down...

The building in the middle is where I work, and you can't even see the top of it. Also, for some reason my building has its own weather system, as you get closer you become engulfed in fog and it's raining. Weird. I think that happened in Ghostbusters... Who you gonna call?

Oh yeah, and here's the weather for today:

You may need that ark: Heavy rains, flooding in forecast

Eastern Massachusetts is getting a pounding from the rain today, with thunderstorms hurling lightning to the ground and dumping buckets of rain. Roads are turning into ponds and some small streams are expected to overtop their banks.

The National Weather Service is warning of heavy downpours and urban and small stream flooding in eastern Massachusetts as an area of thunderstorms rolls into southeastern Massachusetts and the Boston area.
Meteorologist Charlie Foley says the boomers could bring one to two inches of rain by mid-morning.

The weather service issued a flood advisory saying that the rain could produce ponding in low-lying areas – including the areas under highway overpasses -- and push some small streams to their brims and even cause minor flooding.

The weather service said that just before 8 a.m. thunderstorms were moving northeast into southeastern Massachusetts and the Boston area, while other thunderstorms were already sweeping through north central Massachusetts.

In Hopkinton, firefighters battled a two-alarm fire this morning as a big storm rolled through. The attic fire was at 18 Daniel Shays Road, a fire department dispatcher said. In Upton, a man was reported hit by lightning. In Medway, lightning started a fire at the Medway Community Church at 193 Main St., when it hit the steeple, a fire dispatcher said.
Trooper Thomas Murphy, a State Police spokesman, said Route 20 at the Route 122 overpass in the area was flooded, disabling cars. Otherwise, he said, there were no reports of fender benders caused by the deluges.

"There will be some slowdowns with the heavy rains, obviously, and the rush hour commute," said Murphy.

The forecasters warned that the storms were producing frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and urged people to get inside or in a car or, if caught outside, to stay away from isolated tall objects like trees and avoid open areas like ballfields or golf courses.

The forecasters say more rainfall can be expected through this evening, with some areas getting up to four inches or more in a brief period of time.
