I'm concerned that the worst may be yet to come. There's no rain in the forecast.

Mick Cornett

If only all that January rain had been snow.

Corie Stone

It's going to be hit or miss showers. It's impossible to say what times it's going to rain and where.

Steve Vanderburg

The ground has really been soaked because of the rain. The trees were sliding down upright with the mud.

Rosette Lerias

It's too hot. There's too much threat of rain. October is the driest month of the year, and it starts getting cool. We just feel we owe it to the crowd to give them a little bit better conditions.

Barry Ancelet

I'm not discouraged. I'm perplexed that the Lord would allow this rain to come and despite all our prayers -- it's still coming, ... I do not doubt the goodness of God. When we get to heaven . . . we'll find out why this happened.

Luis Palau

We've had a few problems with fires in the county recently, but we were hoping that the rain would get here before something like this happened. It didn't come in time. After this, I think we will have to consider a burn ban.

Don Mckinnon

We're concerned about the very heavy rainfall over most of Florida. We're looking at three or four days of heavy rain down here, accumulations of up to 20 inches. It's not going to be a pleasant time.

Jerry Jarrell

It was a very localized storm that dumped about a foot of rain in some places and almost nothing in others.

Bruce Sullivan

Three Days of Rain.

Richard Greenberg

Even though you get five to six inches of rain each year and we're in a desert environment, some amount of moisture will penetrate the mountain and over the millennia we might want to make sure we'll use a drip shield.

Allen Benson

We expected to do better here. But everyone was surprised by the weather. We haven't seen rain in Kenya in two months.

Catherine Ndereba

There's 10,000 cubic yards of dirt that could come down. Every time it rains, more comes down.

David Knight

I thought the guys ran really well considering it was pouring rain and there was a 30 mph wind.

Al Knutson

We're seeing lower wind, higher humidity, overcast skies with the potential of rain. That should help contain the fire to make it easier to put out.

Wendy Rosenbach

If you look at the spread of the rain in the first 10 days of the year it has been marvelous. We had double the average amount of rainfall in general over the country over that period.

Amelius Muller

We opened every potential flood gate we could, ... We were at least expecting a lot of rain.

David Lindsay

If there are just a few seed heads out, then forget it. Manage it like you normally do. But if your field is full of seed heads, then mow it. If it rains in May or June, the new growth will be leafy and less toxic than the fields not mowed.

Craig Roberts

We've got one of the best soils certainly on the East Coast and we get nearly four feet of rain a year. The climate permits you to grow here for 10 months a year, sometimes more. Certainly there is a demand for high-quality food.

Steve Parker

The radar estimated between one and a half and two inches of rain over a three-hour period. That typically happens fairly often across Northeast Ohio and flooding doesn't happen.

Tom King

Prices have gone through the roof. They have been hesitant to invest in fertilizer without rain to help it.

Robert Seay

It will spend a lot of time well away from Central Florida. But on Sunday, it will make a curve back toward the Panhandle and that's when we will probably see the most rain in our area. The projected landfall is roughly between Apalachicola and New Orleans.

Larry Mowry

We realize as people clean their homes out, they're moving all this mud and material out to the curb, where it's eventually going into the storm drain system. Every rain we get for the next six months or beyond will put more material into the lake.

John Pardue

Primarily, they were removed because they weren't receiving adequate shelter. They were exposed to the rain. They had just little plastic barrels that they could barely fit in. They couldn't even turn around.

Linda Benson

I don't think we're going to have completely sunny skies, but it will certainly be less rain than we've had.

Tom Birchard

We're playing on a tough course this week and the rain made it so much harder this morning. I didn't have the best of starts but I came back nicely.

Thaworn Wiratchant

I like the dynamics of life, ... I like it when it rains, and suddenly the sun comes out, and I like it when it's really silent and then a loud booming noise comes through. Or vice-versa.

Serj Tankian

Well, it was going to be bad and this rain made it awful.

Ray Barrett

I've lived in England so rain means nothing to me. It's stunning here.

Mike Dillon

Sure seems a lot slower this year than last, you get the feeling. Even with all the rain last year, sales were better.

Judy West

It's disappointing to me because there's so many people that have put so much work into it and we were all pumped up and ready to go and then the rain and that also gives more people chances to get involved.

Michele Pearson

Hopefully it will be raining for you come Saturday night. We don't have any rain for the moment and we won't until at least Saturday night.

Tom Sorrells

The fact that it is fast moving would limit things like damage from rain fall. But the fast movement contributes higher wind speeds and means it will be fairly strong when it crosses the state.

Kyle Beatty

Rain or snow, no fail, we'll be here.

Father Gregory Horton

We love it . We're here in the rain. We must.

Bridget Daly

We continue to have little rain and the vegetation is drier than usual, so the potential for more fires is increased.

Daniel Mccarthy

The hunger has different regional causes. In Niger, a large part of it was environmental. There were locust swarms and the bad rains.

Clare Rudebeck

Right now, the rain she's produced hasn't been overly huge, but she's going to be a slow mover. That's our main concern. Without a doubt, she'll be a rainmaker.

Matt Bragaw

It's very unusual for us to get this amount of rain this early in the season.

Chris Dagenais

The forecast of rain today I think slowed people down.

Jim Hillman

It (requires) just a computer. You can do it remotely. You don't have to go out in the rain and climb a telephone pole anymore.

Jim Dempsey

If it were to rain a lot, there is concern from the Army Corps of Engineers that the levees might break.

A. Bush

We were disabled by the rain.

Ted Dumitru

It's getting drier every day. Unless we get rain, it's going to get worse.

Allen Long

Pastoralists living in these arid, remote lands have very few survival strategies left and desperately require our assistance to make it through until the next rains.

Holdbrook Arthur

It's extremely rare to get that much rain in that period of time. This is an event that occurs probably once every 50 years.

Alex Sosnowski

When it rains, the shopping malls are filled; that's just what happens.

Carol Pregill

It's too early to tell if there will be any impact from these rains on the 2006 crop in southern Africa.

Mike Huggins

We didn't get much rain in this area from the hurricane.

Thomas Pittman

If we get up to 2 inches of rain, I do expect some intersections and some streets to flood because of the debris that will wash into the storm drains.

Bennie Sellers

Oh the rain's good. We haven't had a lot of rain this year, and the fruit's sort of small. And every time it rains, the fruit gets a little bigger and that's what we need.

Mark Baker

If it rains, we'll leave.

Richard Schmidt

The outfall can't keep up with the rain.

Rod Johnson

Any rain like that is nice. Is it going to knock us out of the drought? No.

Doug Cramer

These rains were much needed to refill the aquifers. We had been far behind our normal rain totals, but we are now sitting pretty.

Charles Yates

I hope we have rain.

Debbie Ugbade

If we have some heavy rains this season, as we did a few years ago, there will be some major problems. With the scheduled delays in building the Fort Hamer Bridge, Manatee County continues to get further and further behind in caring for the needs of the residents of this area.

Clint Miller

If we are deluged with rain, most of it will just run off. However, if it comes in slow enough over a three or four day period, there might even be a chance for some to get another cutting. But that's not likely.

Ralph Davis

May you always have work for your hands to do. May your pockets hold always a coin or two. May the sun shine bright on your windowpane. May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Irish Blessings

It looks like we're going to have another 24 to 48 hours of this, before the wind shifts around to push water out and the rains let up.

Steve Huffman

We really need an inch of rain to reduce the threat of wildfire.

Kent Nelson

If we get good rain in the spring, we may not see any impact. If it stays low through spring and early summer, we could see an impact.

Dave Terre

Out of the rain, into the sun, follow it on and on and on ...

Andrew Peterson

Rains like these can't erase overnight what two years of La Niña and long-term drought helped to produce. These are major precipitation deficits.

Jack Kelly

I said I could but with rain delays and stuff, I told them their parents would get tired of that drive every week.

Gordon Patterson

Just tell me how much it's going to rain Saturday and Sunday.

John Baillie

The course was very long, but also very fair. The wind and the rain that we got last night made it even longer out there, so we all had to grind a little bit. They do an excellent job with the course.

Penny Carlo

Maybe I'll take a rain check and try to get in next year.

Bo Diddley

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress, running like a water color in the rain.

Al Stewart

Unless we get additional rain, it should go down.

Amelius Muller

The ground is already saturated from a month of near constant rain. Any heavy rainfall will run off immediately. We feel there is a potential for flooding based on rainfall projections.

Duane Dykema

Even though the rains have hit and will alleviate part of the problem, we're looking at this as a long term problem.

Michael Hess

It was a great run. For a long time as they came up the straight, I thought he might do it. The rain wasn't a help but we take what we get.

Willie Mullins

We needed two or three days without rain and we haven't had two or three days without rain.

Melanie Coon

We got caught in the rain when they got their runs. But that's no excuse for our defensive play.

Holly Brown

They jumped on it because it was raining. Because of the rain, they were able to proceed without [watering].

Richard Wells

There are a couple of sprint locations, a lot of up and down and weather will play a factor. Wind or heavy rain could make the race much more difficult.

Chuck Hodge

The overnight rain will be absorbed by the dry ground and lessen the intensity of the active fire, but is not enough to extinguish the fires.

John Winter

The rain did us a huge favor and really knocked down the fire.

Bridget Bohnet

If we hadn't gotten that rain, we would've been severely damaged.

Phil Coleman

We won't be able to do much until spring, when the rains subside.

Andrew Benelli

Fairways and greens were the key to my round today. The long rain delay really didn't hurt me, although I was 3-under when play was stopped. I hated to leave the course.

Tony Smith

We have significant icing in Connecticut and interior Massachusetts. That, with freezing rain, then snow, makes for definite concern.

Michael Dion

The waters continue to rise, and there's a lot of worry. If it rains another week, it doesn't look good.

John Herrick

Other concerns are snakes and bugs, ... It's 92 degrees with 100 percent humidity. They are praying for no rain for a while.

Dennis Richards

There were up to five inches of rain standing on parts of the field. The groundskeeper said it's never been under this much water.

Greg Brooks

With abundant rain and warmer temperatures, mosquito populations could be large.

Aaron Devencenzi

We might lay down as much salt for a half an hour of freezing rain as we do for eight hours of snowfall.

Dawn Terrill

Pumping the water out - that's a lot of water. When the pumping systems are in good shape, it can rain an inch an hour for about four to six hours and the pumps can keep pace. More than that, the city floods.

Shea Penland

It was pretty tough, really, because it was so humid. The rain kind of cooled it off, but after that the greens were slow.

David Owens

The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by often falling.

Lucretius

They all have the same problem, ... They need to finish before it rains or gets hot.

Gary Price

The building actually broke up better than expected. And the rain helped mitigate the dust.

Mark Loizeaux

With all this rain and the wet weather, we already have mosquitoes developing and adults flying. There are eight positive birds in the state and half of them are here.

Kriss Costa

There is a lot of rain to the west that will be coming overnight.

Bobby Boyd

If you pray for rain, be prepared to deal with some mud.

Mary Englebreit

There may be rain, but we are expecting to play at some time.

Josh Rawitch

Our main objective was to get some continuity, to get (the players) in a rhythm, and get them thinking baseball, since we haven't been able to practice. I was very happy. It was a lot of games, but it's a heck of a lot better than watching the rain.

Reny Enriquez

We took a chance (that it wouldn't rain), and it went well.

Claudia Williams

Despite some of the closings we've had, we seem to be doing all right. With the rain and everything, there was some question at first, but we seem to be holding our own right now.

Patricia Ryan

We hammered the walls in the pouring rain, in the mud.

Carol Smith

We went to bed last night expecting some possible rain and woke up this morning to learn that Katrina was 75 miles [120 kilometers] north of Marathon [Florida]. A lot of the live-aboards [people living on houseboats] in Boot Key Harbor were surprised to find their boats in new spots.

Dan Gallagher

Then, this guy cuts me off in the rain and I put the bike down, cut up my jeans, scraped up the bike and rode home.

Chris Dishman

We had more rain in the past three days than combined in most parts of the state in August and September.

David Robinson

Any party which takes credit for the rain must not be surprised if its opponents blame it for the drought.

Dwight D. Morrow

If it doesn't change in the next 30 days Well, then it should be spring time again and if it does start to rain grass will come quick.

Reginald Rieger

He has not tested because of the rain.

Luca Colajanni

Corn can't wait for rain. It has to have copious amounts when it's filling out the ears.

Roger Quarles

The farther you go down south, the more likely it is you get into the big rain.

Tom Sorrells

Caitlin Adair had our one shot on their goal. In the first half, the water really affected us. We didn't expect that much rain.

Roque Mireles

We need to basically educate Costa Ricans that they shouldn't cut down the rain forest and should use shadow coffee, which is grown underneath the trees.

Vic Reeves

It's one thing to say when it's going to rain, but how do we know when there's going to be a flood? We're still not good at predicting floods or droughts, but we hope that's just one out of many things our model can help us predict.

Inez Fung

The scariest part was going through Mobile. There was a lot of rain, dust, but after that it was a smooth ride.

Desean Jackson

We had some rains about a month ago. We were at the real serious stage where our crops were dying. They weren't just stressed, they were dying.

Bob Bowman

The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain.

Colin Wilson

Lift up your heads, ye people, lift up your faces, too, open your mouths to sing His praise, and the rain will fall on you.

Aimee Semple Mcpherson

Irrigation of the land with seawater desalinated by fusion power is ancient. It's called 'rain'.

Michael McClary

The parents enjoy the campus in the spring. The nice weather gives them a chance to look around and experience the college. The only thing that would've made [Parents Weekend] better was if it didn't rain.

Danielle Shepherd

The northern hill tribes burn rain forests so the land makes better grazing, ... Without tree roots there, it allows erosion.

Sherry Davis

The rain may be falling hard outside, But your smile makes it all alright. I'm so gland that you're my friend. I know our friendship will never end.

Robert Alan

Mostly the rain has come at a good time for our warm-season hay crops. We have a lot of farmers who will be planting some hay crops.

Robert Seay

I do believe this program does help eliminate problems before they happen. We normally do this in the spring when we generally get most of our rain events.

Dave Mcaninch

Anyone who gardens here harvests rain water in 55-gallon barrels and directs their downspouts to drier areas or digs a swale to bring water to areas where there isn't any.

Mary Sisson Eibs

Everybody came out and stayed. A large percentage of the turnout this year was from out of the area. All of the bands were just wonderful about performing their best as the rain was coming down.

Dennis Crawford

The bad news is rain stays in the forecast basically until further notice.

Ryan Walbrun

The forest up through here has been completely destroyed. I say completely, but probably by 80 percent, and the root of the problem is that we have to go and reforest the hill and until we do that, every two, three, four years after some heavy rain the same thing could happen again.

Gerard Latortue

We've seen water rushing down the arroyo, if we get another rain what's gonna happen to the cheap fill, is it gonna run into our backyard?

Laura Davis

We're pleasantly surprised, especially after the rain came down as hard as it did.

Fred Lipkin

It's kind of a Catch-22 because the rain is good for the farmers, but our festival got canceled.

Andrea Arnold

It's very much a sensitivity model; you don't know what your business looks like a month out. If it rains tomorrow, or it rains for the next week, then you're missing your entire month or quarter. It's a thin business as far as margins are concerned.

Dan Aptor

I think it would be foolish to think if it's 38 degrees and rain coming down sideways that a 65-yard field goal is going to happen. You try to manage the game as best you can and realize that you don't have an S on your chest.

John Kasay

One calculator was a casualty of the rain.

Dan Mcallister

There was no rain, no cold.

Robert Norton

It's too early to pinpoint the specific locations and amount of rain, but we definitely see an increase in shower activity into Saturday. What will happen on land will depend on where the plumes of moisture form south of the island.

Bob Burke

Normally, we wouldn't have problems with street flooding until we get 1½ to 2 inches of rain.

Ron Shindoll

When it rains it pours, and its pouring here right now.

Chris Souder

That's three months of rain falling in one night, and there's no way the ground can soak that up. There will be serious runoff.

Paul Douglas

When it rains here it floods. I didn't expect so many fairways to hold as much water as they did.

Matt Stout

A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

Mark Twain

December 20th was the last time we had any appreciable rain. We had about a quarter-inch over the area. That wasn't enough to help that much.

Jesse Moore

I am very impressed to see that people at the end of the show seem very moved and have some 'rain' in their eyes.

Daniele Finzi Pasca

Two thirds of this was put up in the rain.

Chris Graves

That cold front is already blowing in, and it's supposed to rain most of the day (today). I know they're going to try to get it in, but if there's lightning they can't play, and they would go by first-day scores.

Fernando Rodriguez

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

Satchel Paige

They are having a great time, and they are totally oblivious to the rain.

Robert Hollis

This tells you we've gotten hammered in the Cascades with snow, while we've gotten hammered in the Valley with rain.

Bruce Sussman

We did get a couple of things back. Some of it was in the truck and some of it was in a garbage can outside (of Valley Truck and Trailer) in the pouring-down rain. I actually had to dig through the garbage cans to get some things back.

Beth Mcginley

It looks like the system doesn't have quite the dynamic with the heavy rains that we had in the past event.

Bob Burke

I play the county courses every Wednesday, rain or shine. I play all winter at courses, including some private ones, but that can get expensive. That's one of the reasons it's so nice to have them open again. It's a blessing, really. I look forward to it all winter.

Neil Anderson

We've had (rain) accumulations of as much as 25 inches in some locations. We're going to see that show up in the rivers for the next two or three days, eventually into the Rio Grande.

Jerry Jarrell

This would put off any decision. A decision will probably not come for a few days because of the rain.

Brian Lovejoy

I've got friends who live outside Beekman, and they were sweating it a few weeks ago. With the rain we've had the last couple of weekends, maybe those folks up there can rest a little easier.

Henry Smith

We feel Johnson County is the best location for the rain forest.

Jim Angstman

For the amount of rain we've had in the past few days, the (Stamp) river looks pretty clean.

Blain Pouliot

One of the best things Ben does is throw the fade. The fact that they were playing man-to-man on our best receivers is reason enough to throw it, even in the rain.

Wendell Early

We're going to have to see what kind of impact the rain has had.

Mark Carmon

There's no indication at this point that it will be anything other than rain. People should stay updated.

Bill Walker

His work is organic, so it compliments the garden. To me, the shapes and colors are as if you boiled down a rain forest or a coral reef.

Mark Maunder

The biggest threat of course is flash flooding. This is a very wet storm, it's going to drop a lot of rain.

Josh Mcdowell

This season has potential to be very bad because we just haven't had a lot of rain since the end of November. We'll have to wait and see how the rest of the season pans out.

Jim Clarke

Rain, sleet, snow or strike, we'll get to work.

Paul Jensen

We're more than 4 inches below normal in rainfall this year. There's not a good chance of rain until at least Thursday or Friday.

Richard Nunn

We stay open rain or shine.

John Picano

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Langston Hughes

A one-time, four-inch rain will not even come close to getting us out of the quandary we are in. It will take numerous storms.

Matt Brockman

The storms are coming through and in places, it rains like crazy -- and in others, you don't get any. So we're able to get back into the fields in places.

Vic Jaro

Yes sir, ... I have some tin that got lifted up by the rain, but my insurance won't cover it because the roof is too old.

George Craig

We're issuing this brown water advisory as a precaution because heavy rains are going to wash whatever pollution on the land into the streams and into the ocean.

Laurence Lau

We have no excuse for how we played. (Leonard) had to play in the rain, too. We just lacked the knockout punch.

Dan Sanso

We hope it will be a beautiful day, but we've got a covered concrete building at the Farm Center in case of inclement weather. We'll have the cook-off rain or shine.

Stan Windham

We've experienced weather like we've never experienced before in our lives. But thank goodness, the rains have stopped. The sun is back. Hawaii is back.

Marsha Weinert

The girls had to play in the rain for most of the first nine holes and the wind was gusting for the whole day.

Dan Anderson

I hope that you will join me in praying for rain, ... I think that we have to have your prayers.

Lawton Chiles

It's happening there, rain or shine.

Christine Parker

When we get some rain, we're going to have a lot more trees fall.

Larry Moore

As hot as it is, I can't imagine anyone wanting to burn. Hopefully, we'll get some rain before the first of October.

Benny Gray

I thought there was no way (corn could do well), given the heat we had. Every day was 98 degrees, no rain. I thought, this crop is in trouble.

Joe Victor

He was great about going right ahead and doing it. At the end of the Cross show, he did a Beach Boys medley. It was a great part of the show. It made the fans excited and happy, as they stood in the rain.

Dennis Crawford

We took a proactive approach, and it worked. We placed sandbags in some hotspots on Monday, and they helped. They would have helped even more if we'd gotten even more rain.

Jim Durrett

Snow and rain will be mixed in (Crescent City).

Chris Scott

It was so nice to see everyone partying after the rain. That was my nicest moment.

Heather Smith

The rain fell alike upon the just and upon the unjust, and for nothing was there a why and a wherefore.

W. Somerset Maugham

It is going to be a very dangerous situation. We could easily see 15 inches of rain in some mountain areas, and that could cause flash floods and mudslides.

Stacy Stewart

The weathers not too bad. Weve had a bit of everything this morningthunder, lightning, rain, fog, sunshine, clouds.

Steven Bennett

You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst.

William Langewiesche

He said there had been hard rain all day, but the wind was not real bad.

Cam Bonifay

Pray for rain and no wind.

Pat Wilson

It was great to be racing on a street circuit again, but it was very difficult with the rain.

Ralph Firman

The best time to listen to a politician is when he's on a stump on a street corner in the rain late at night when he's exhausted. Then he doesn't lie.

Theodore H. White

We're probably right close to where we should be. This year we had very little rain in February ... so maybe we're going to catch up this month.

Bob Benjamin

Coming up with the weather system for a world is fun. We've talked about how cool would it be when you killed the blood god, that it rains blood.

Jeff Kaplan

These systems make the air to the east and southeast of the low unstable, creating a greater chance of heavy rain showers.

Jim Weyman

Monday, we came out and played pretty decent. When Tuesday came around, we played in the rain for about an hour and a half. We did not do as well during that. We finished in seventh, which is respectable, but we know we are capable of doing better.

Kurt Thomas

This blade hugs the windshield in mist, rain, snow or ice, at any speed.

Otto Stefaner

We're calling for mostly sunny on Saturday, with increasing clouds in the afternoon and a small chance of rain Saturday night.

Andy Haner

If we get some good rain over the weekend, it's going to help a lot. If it stays hot and dry, it's going to stay awhile.

Jim Martin

Hanalei Bridge is always a major concern during heavy rains. Whenever the water reaches a certain level there, it needs to be closed.

Mark Marshall

(Today) is going to be a windy, mild, soggy day with on-and-off light rain.

Alex Tardy

[By the time she appeared in the 1952 film] Singing in the Rain, ... The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

Debbie Reynolds

We are not blaming them. After all, there was heavy rain on Thursday.

Anton Sagino
