"It's Raining Again/Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" Medley

It's about 9 p.m. now. The rains have started and the wind has picked up. The weather forecast calls for a front moving through in the night between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. tomorrow. The worst part will be the wind, according to the forecasters. In the higher elevations, the winds will be up to 75 mph. There isn't supposed to be as much rain as last Saturday morning, but as one of the head persons in the humanitarian aid services told me in my office this morning: the way things are now, it won't take a lot of rain to do a lot of damage.

Some people are so jittery, that it only takes a drop of water on the head to set off a Chicken-Little-the-sky-is-falling frenzy. We will seek to be prudent, to not be foolhardy; we will seek to be prudent, so as to not appear foolish.

(Saturday: the wind blew hard in the night, but I slept right through it, I was so exhausted. Abbie said she heard it. Minor damage this time... a tree fell on a car, but no one was injured; a small landslide with no major consequences.)
