John Pavlik
Near any source of water is a great place to find birds. Right after it rains, it's a good time. The birds are out.

Rick Tolman
We don't expect this current drought situation to be over until about June when we experience the normal summer rain showers.
Ludie Ehlers
On the high frequency, rain is a concern, but because these distances are so short, they should never see any outage due to rain. Almost to the point where it would take an act of God, and if it's raining that hard, there probably are other things you should be worrying about.
Paul Lefebvre
For Friday, we're saying partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain, with low temperatures in the mid-50s and highs in the mid-60s.

We've got a chance of a little precipitation. We're looking at a slight chance of some freezing drizzle overnight and a slight chance of rain in the afternoon. Tomorrow night we could see some freezing rain and again on Sunday.
Craig Stewart
It is the wettest month in 104 years. It was 16 inches of rain, we have had 7 dams break, though there was no significant loss of property in those events.
Gina Mccarthy

Melanie Phillips
Take it to the bank, it is going to rain.
Tony Haffer
We've only done it a couple times in the last month. The rain definitely cuts down on your ability to get outside.
Bill Pierce
I don't know right now. I've been afraid to ask. Because if I ask, then that means it's bad and if I keep thinking good and being positive that rain will come, then we'll get some lake back into the water.
Larry Fenton
Charles City is much improved from the previous years. They gave us some good and close matches and we pulled all of them out except for the number one doubles. That one finished in the cold, wind, and rain.
Donalyn Woeste
The rain might change the course quite a bit. The greens and fairways won't be as fast as they were the last two years.

Gene Shinn
If we don't get rain in the next two weeks, we'll see some long term affects on the wheat.
Mark Ploger
Rain never helps on any night, but it probably won't be as much of a hindrance on New Year's. People are just raring to get out.
Bryan Smith
The rain was a little bit late. There was a lot of it. The temperatures have been higher than normal. So we got a lot of extra mosquitoes, a lot of extra transmissions. It all made a nice combination and blew the top.
Kevin Palmer
I've been out here 27 years and have seen a lot of really bad weeks with rain, but haven't ever seen it that bad. Everything just lined up against us to keep the tournament on hold.
Dan Carter
I wasn't going to let anything stop me, neither rain or snow or wind.
Bershawn Jackson
People heard it but couldn't see it. It passed probably 400 yards (meters) from my house. There was so much lightning and rain I didn't see anything.
C. Michael White
The rain has just killed us because we've lost four or five games. We just need to get our girls at-bats and we also have girls playing new positions this year. We have a lot of girls playing positions they haven't played before.
Bart Mcafee
The final front coming through Monday should be the last of the rain for a few days anyway.
Gary Chatelain
If the rain keeps up like this, we might have some more people checking in.

Jared Zabransky
Just a lot of rain, some trees and limbs down and the power went out. But other than that, they're fine.

We are going rain or snow.
Peggy Hoffman
This seepage that comes into the building here varies with the tide and also the saturation of rains.
Daniel Martinez

Brett Taylor
It was a good day. It was a miracle with the rain coming in that we even got the match in.
Allen Hornthal
The school's a bunch of trailers. My daughter has to go outside and walk through the rain to go to her lunch.

Robert D. Ballard
If we don't get any rain on the weekend, this course is going to be brutal on Sunday.

Fortunately, we haven't had too much rain.
Jeff Spence
A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.

Dave Terre
Across the state we have pretty good stands and it's hanging on. I'm guardedly optimistic about the crop but the longer we go without rain the more pessimistic I get.
Jim Shroyer
What we are really concerned about is the storm surge and tremendous rains.
Lawton Chiles
Our official gauge showed 4.28 inches. We have unofficial reports of six inches from some private rain gauges. That's a lot of rain at one time.
Todd Mogged
We don't see that behavior anymore. Most people think of autism like 'Rain Man' or walking around flapping, but that's not everyone. George doesn't flap. He doesn't wave his hands in front of his face or spin. We have autistic kids with 160 IQs.
Peggy West
This rain tends to give you a false sense of security.
Paul Hefner
There are no signs of rain coming down.
Alfredo Vega

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.
Hosea Ballou
The rain delay yesterday was great. It gave me the opportunity to come today.

African American Proverb
Not that they were expecting to be living in centrally heated comfort. But the rain drove them crazy. It took a toll on their spirits.
Dr. Michael Bernstein
Remnants of Ivan met with a front over the area that would have brought heavy rains anyway, that's a lot of water in a hurry. Plus a lot of it came over headwaters at rivers and creeks. It happens.
Larry Nierenberg

Dave Coleman
We need a slow, soaking rain or a series of slow, soaking rains.
Helen Humphreys
Initially the rain will exacerbate an already fragile situation.
Andrew Featherstone
Whenever you get to the desert, an inch is a significant amount of rain and that is not normal.
Brad Doyle
That's because the cold front is stalling at the moment and moving very, very slowly. It means the rain is falling over the same area for a longer period of time, which increases the likelihood of flooding because the soil can only soak up so much at a time.
Brooke Bingaman
We would like to extend our appreciation to the cooperating landowners and the agencies that have provided additional funding to make this project a success so far, ... We are also looking for landowners who are interested in funding for projects to repair the shoreline of Elm Lake itself, or its many tributaries that may have been damaged by heavy rains in May and June.
Tim Wilson
Hopefully it doesn't rain, ... but if it does, we will be able to accommodate our guests with tents and such.
Phil Bennett
I didn't notice the rain. I thought it was sunny all day long.
Adam Nelson
This river runs clean almost all year long. If it takes two days of rain to dirty it up, it takes two days to clear.
Wayne Orzel
The next rain may breach the dam of the silt fence toward the Still River. That is what we're concerned about.
Jack Kozuchowski
The main thing we're worried about is rain.
Christopher Bannan
That assumption is based on if there are no further rains; if there are further rains, the situation will be compounded and will get worse, so that means we could have a worse flooding scenario.
Basil Fernandez
It's really difficult to say (if we'll hit Stage 4), but the rainfall that will keep us from going to Stage 4 has not happened yet. The lake didn't go up very much from the rain we had last weekend.
Steve Massey
If you look at the weather, it's pouring rain. What's driving people to come into the city? It's gotta be the game.
Jon Handlery
For a 1,500 square foot roof that you're capturing water from, in a 1 inch rain, you can capture about 700 gallons of water.

Greg Olmsted
Yes, it will rain on their parade. There's a possibility of some heavy rains in the Pasadena area.
Brad Doyle
We can confidently say the rains have established. In many arid and semi-arid regions, the drought is already alleviating, the dams are filling up and there is water for livestock.
Peter Ambenje
We are facing serious danger from the rain, ... We are staying on alert in nearly every part of the nation.
Ricardo Maduro
Our concern is a tropical wave that has been sitting over Jamaica for the past few days and headed in our direction and will continue to bring rain for Central Florida for the next couple of days. As a matter of fact, even into the weekend, possibly.
Jerry Steffen
Tahoe was full then, and they were spilling. Then you had a foot of rain a day up there around Squaw and Alpine.
Gary Barbato
We were paying attention to the weather all day, hoping it didn't rain.
Will Johnson
I like the weather. In Holland, snowy, ice, cold rain.
Debby Connor
The rain throws everybody out of their routine. Baseball is meant to be played in dry and warm weather.
Lindsay Meggs
I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
Leonard Cohen
The weather's been good but we're going to need more rain later on.
Milton Smith
Extreme warm temperatures early on and wet, heavy rains could change that. That's what usually causes flooding.
Brian Avery
I was ready to pitch my game once we started. The rain was the last thing on my mind. I had a good fastball, kept the ball down in the zone, and my slider was effective early in the game.
Jose Contreras
The only thing we can do is keep fourth now, so I have to be happy with that. We made up some places today, but this is where we stop. The only way that we could improve things is to have one or two less Citroens in front â€' but I doubt that is going to happen! I'm quite glad that it didn't rain today, otherwise the stages would have been incredibly risky.
Michael Park
We expect the heaviest rain to move into Los Angeles County late this afternoon... then a second wave is coming around 7, 8 or 9 tonight before the system moves out.
Jamie Smith
The month of November to the month of March we have less maintenance. But with all the rain we have right now the grass is going to grow. Mowing the grass is one of the biggest expenses we have.

They're all strong storms bringing significant rains and snow at the higher elevations, maybe a couple of feet.
Harry Stockman
There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.

Wait until the next big rain, you will see the trees fall down.

Bud Garske
We get rains... More rains... Subsoil... Rains during the growing season.
Tom Mueller
We knew (the rain) was coming. I think we should have been more mentally prepared to hit. It was too little, too late.
Clint Wheeler
From our standpoint things have run pretty smoothly. We had all those bikes riding around in the rain (Saturday) night. I would have anticipated more accidents.
David Abercrombie
I thought it was going to flood last night. I was actually surprised it did not flood with the rain all day and all night.
Giovanni Guerrera
We were kind of rushed and the sheets were wet from the rain.
Kris Lebedoff
It was nothing because we work through this weather. We've run through the snow, so a little rain, it wasn't anything big.
Brandon Smith
The slower movement means heavy rains will fall over the same area for some period of time. Areas that are prone to flooding could see a significant amount of water.
Robert Molleda
Last winter was extremely unusual. A winter like that doesn't come around that often and this year is a little dryer then normal. We should have had more rain, many areas in Southern California are well below normal.
Brad Doyle
It could bring 6 to 10 inches of rain in the Keys, and there could be isolated pockets of up to 15 inches.
Bob Collins
Generally speaking, when we get better rains the pig numbers tend to go up; when we have droughts the pig numbers tend to go down.

I'm from London, so I'm used to the rain.
Susie Bush
The rain didn't stop everyone having fun. Everyone enjoyed it and the buzz around the branch was absolutely fantastic.
Michelle Lewis
A lot of things are going to happen next week, and I don't know how much rain they're going to get. But I don't think is going to crest over 23 feet, right at major flood stage.
Gary Votaw
Rain isn't our deal, but we came out and it didn't bother us. We moved the ball around pretty well in the first half.
Shawn Stenger
Monday, it's back to the rain. Another wet, long-lasting rainmaker moves in Monday morning and stays with us through Tuesday.
Bruce Sussman
The big concern right now is fire. A good day of rain shouldn't upset anyone right now.
Dave Robinson
What lack of justice to the series would rain be? Victory or death for both sides - a draw would be the biggest let-down of the millenium thus far.
Matthew Hoggard
It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Do you need ponchos?
Lori Mcclain
We've seen the heaviest of it. There is going to be more rain, but it's going to be nickel and dime stuff.
Michael Colby
I'm soggy but happy at the great exposure for New Mexico. It was a continuing, freezing rain. But the warmth of the crowd made up for soggy, very cold rain.
Bill Richardson
We were certainly motivated by all the alumni that came out in the rain to watch us play, ... They provided a big boost to have them here and for us to celebrate with all the alumni was a big motivator.
Martin Tobias
If it doesn't rain much more over the next couple of months, we'll probably be in conservation-restriction mode by summer.
Robert Potts
I always say, the way you spell fire is F-U-E-L. There has been a lot of fuel building here, with the big drought and the big rains.
Bill Patzert
Most parts of the country are still going to get deficient rain especially those areas which are most stressed.
William Nyakwada
Under perfect conditions -- with no rain and all the pumps working -- you're talking at least 20 days in the areas that have 20 feet of water. And we know we don't have perfect conditions. It rains an hour nearly every afternoon.
Richard Wagenaar
You can get one day of rain in the right spot that can cause flooding.
Jim Westland
It wasn't a good year with all the rain, many of the tomato plants rotted.
Lisa Shannon
Sideways rain. We threw it 59 times (actually 57).
Philip Rivers
[The high water was inevitable; this, after all, was Oregon's north coast, where 65-plus inches of rain fall per year.] I think we had over 100 when we were building that thing, ... Never seen rain like that.
William Wagner
And we've only had rain twice.
Richard Cross
The rain was on a grander scale than any of these systems were designed for. It challenged all their capacities.
John Graham
We've had quite a bit of rain and flooding. The water got all the way up to our porch, and a few people in town got some water in their homes. It's a little too much too fast, but anything is welcome.
Donna Brown
We're putting out fertilizer today trying to get feed going. I've got one field that's even too wet, but that's all right. I'll take the rain.
Stephen Schmidt
If you have wind, rain or flood damage to your home or business, we are not going to energize transformer to those buildings even though we may have the grid up and running there.

Blake Kellum
The heavens opened and the rains started.
Daniel Basse
Rain chances are looking better all of the time.
