You just have a consistency of footing that's not even there with real grass. You don't have a divot anywhere. You don't have a hole in the ground. You have the same surface everywhere. Even in the rain.

John Gilman

I slept in the rain. My tent was stolen. I experienced how these people live.

Pras Michel

But from the standpoint of having storms that produce a lot of rain, we didn't have a lot this winter.

Bill Sammler

Our parade will go on. Even if it rains. That is good luck.

Dwayne Hultquist

We had practiced in the rain and did OK but it was still hard to play in it. We had some clubs flying. We were able to use some wind and rain suits compliments of the Charleston Country Club's Lady Evening League, and we really appreciate that.

Deb Landsaw

It was the best rain I've ever watched.

Stephen Dodd

There wasn't any payment involved, there weren't any threats, there wasn't any quid pro quo, but he made it very clear that Barry would appreciate it if we kept him out of it. And we had several discussions about how Mike Rains knew what the score was -- and that is that he knew Barry was using.

Troy Ellerman

We're anticipating rain on Saturday and then for a few days after that. If that doesn't materialize, then we may be looking at one.

Scott Pfister

It would certainly help, from the standpoint of agriculture, to start getting more frequent rain. ... The pattern for the next week or two doesn't lend itself to having significant precipitation.

Bill Sammler

Where are you Bud? ... Lightning... now a lone rain falling thru doors empty of room-Jazz Naked Fire Gesture, Dancing protoplasm Absorbs.

Cecil Taylor

The early heat-up in temperatures and the relatively few number of days with rain have definitely contributed to the early heat-up in housing sales.

Lorraine Abercrombie

I think it's safe to say that if the rain remains below average, then we won't see prices coming down much below current levels.

Hugo Pienaar

We're needing a little help from Mother Nature to put this thing to bed. We need some rain.

Michelle Finch

Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain.

Pierre Trudeau

We've had seven or eight rain-outs. To be honest, I've kind of lost track.

Frank Debernardo

We usually have minimal slides, but everybody has had a lot of rain this year.

Wendy Squires

The trees and plants are ready to take up some rain now. It's been so dry and the streams are also low.

Brian Lovejoy

If it rains for 40 days and 40 nights, yeah.

David Mcsweeney

The combination of the two will result in the possibility of heavy rains and high winds, mainly focusing Sunday night and into Monday in the North Bay.

Rick Canepa

West Nile virus is not known to be here. Our concern is that after seven to 10 days after the rain stops, we could see a large number of adult mosquitoes.

Greg Olmsted

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.

Jerry Chin

I can't tell you if it's flood or rain, but I know it got wet.

Rucks Robinson

A bunch of us wanted to help out and are ready to do it again for Friday's game, if we don't get the rain that's predicted.

Chad Williams

Aberdeen is in the mountains, and it's cold and rains quite a bit, but I still love it.

Patrick Rainey

We've got rain tonight. Tomorrow. Tomorrow night. Rain Friday. And then a big improvement Friday night - showers likely.

Bob Stalker

I thought our guys played well and were focused. The rain was a factor, but we didn't let it bother us. That shows we were focused on the task at hand.

Allen Plyler

I was amazed at how soft it was. I know they haven't had a lot of rain, so they put some water on it.

D.a. Weibring

How much rain? We aren't sure.

Brooke Bingaman

Others live on in a careless and lukewarm state - not appearing to fill Longfellow's measure: 'Into each life, some rain must fall.'

Mary Todd Lincoln

Essentially, we've completed the things we agreed that we would. Also, we're looking into the installation of a pump in the basement or the elevator shaft. The continued rains, if we get some, could be a problem and we recognize that. This wouldn't be a permanent one for the building, but it would be sufficient enough to keep the water out.

Dennis Molock

Once it gets started, it will rain the rest of the day.

John Gresiak

It's kind of a wet period that we're getting into here, hopefully. It's kind of hard to say right now if the rain's absolutely going to be happening or not, but it's definitely one of the wetter prospects that we've seen in a while.

Mark Lenz

It is very remote it will rain. Most of it will stay north.

Stan Wasowski

There will be no rain dances on Friday. Now we just hope the pizza gets there on time.

Malcolm Smart

There is little or no chance of rain for the next several days.

Jack Colley

All told, by the end of Monday, expect 4 to 8 inches of rain in the north counties and 2 to 4 inches in the Bay Area, with the majority of it in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Diana Henderson

If it rains, we'll get wet with a smile on our face.

Guido D'elia

If the good Lord could stop the rain just for tomorrow, but only for tomorrow, it would be good. But we need rain otherwise because it's a good omen for our country.

Brigalia Bam

March did make a dent in the long-term drought over the wintertime. It was like the cavalry coming over the hill. The rain we got should help set up local farmers for the spring season.

Jim Andrus

It provides a look at clouds somewhat analogous to a CAT Scan. It provides a kind of in-depth profile through the clouds and we can see the processes in clouds - where fresh water is created and the rain processes occur.

Graeme Stephens

They got three inches of rain.

Chase Tidwell

The mainstream Red River probably would not rise if we get rain, but the area of concern is along the northern border.

Greg Gust

The lake is ready and we will do rain water harvesting too.

M.v. Govindan

It started in '77 as just a rainy-day party, a bunch of friends, because we were bored and tired of the rain.

Jeff Smoller

It was an amazing performance because it's not easy to sit through a long rain delay and have the same intensity. It's not easy to start and stop, and that's what Matt did successfully. When you start and stop, it's easy to bow out of the situation, but he didn't do it. And he was rewarded for it.

Gabe Kapler

Oh, yeah, we got damage. When we get 4 inches of rain in a day, the greens get plundered to the ground.

Dean Okimoto

It needs to continue and it's not just a one-time event that is going to end the drought from last year. It needs to be a number of rain events over time.

Robert Potts

It depends on how much rain we get. A light thunderstorm will dry up in a matter of hours.

Benny Gray

Flocks of guinea fowl in our area have very few chicks. This shows we have had too much rain. The chicks have drowned in the nests on the ground.

Jim Cameron

This is the fourth year in a row now that the Allen Tournament has been altered by rain. I know that's frustrating for Allen.

Karen Kalhoefer

Much of the run-up this year has to do with a smaller-than-expected crop in China due to excessive rains.

Daniel Basse

We will try to sample at least one rain or snow event a month.

Frank Tursi

The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella, But chiefly on the just, because The unjust steals the just's umbrella.

Charles Bowen

One day of rain can set us back a week.

Bob Bisla

For the next couple of months, until it starts to rain, we [have] got to be extra careful in the woods.

Scott Peterich

Bikers don't seem to mind the rain. It's better than snow and sub-zero temperatures, after all.

Carry Porter

That does not mean they will not get rain, ... It just means they will get less rain than normal.

Jack Kelly

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall...Upon us all a little rain must fall.

Led Zeppelin

Even storms that are no longer hurricanes can give just as much rain as a hurricane.

Mike Powell

Whenever it rains ? and it rains hard ? and the water turns brown, that means there's something in there.

Jim Howe

I don't look for a lot of rain. My best guess is about a quarter of an inch.

Mike Rusnak

Every time we play Butler it rains, so that's not something new for us.

Joe Breschi

I've been with the department for 31-years and aside of major accidents I've never seen the highway shut down, but the rain we had was just enormous.

Carl Bard

Last year, with the great abundance of rain, we had a lot of runoff into the ocean and that caused a lot of problems with wildlife populations.

Brian Collins

A lot of polling stations opened late and it took time to prepare and then the rain definitely caused problems.

Mathias Eick

According to The Weather Channel, for this weekend there's zero chance of rain.

Peder Norby

We're not going to go out and say the waters are safe, but it looks like it's getting there. As far as safety, we can't say for sure where it is safe, especially with the heavy rains.

Kurt Tsue

I checked the radar right before we left. There was no rain. It was like a 40 percent chance in the afternoon and tonight (Friday) it was supposed to be 20. It just came out of nowhere. It was just one of those things.

Keith Menard

Rain is going to happen on Monday.

Bill Hoffer

A lot of the rain ran off and a week later, we were dry again. We didn't get rainfall that was spread out through the growing year, which is what really hurt us.

Perry Neal

Rain or shine, taxes are due next Monday.

Dan Mcallister

I find hope for the future because there are 100 of your fellow students 'dead' on the Rock today, in the rain, so that you will notice, so that you will listen, and so that you will care.

Chris Fisher

There is no normal in Texas. It's basically extremes. We were in a drought, and now we have rain.

Ted Ryan

If the rain spoils our picnic, but saves a farmer's crop, who are we to say it shouldn't rain?

Tom Barrett

With all the rains we had lately I'm surprised it didn't happen couple weeks ago, and it's going to happen again for sure.

Brent Cooper

The forecasts, at least what we can see in the next month or two...do not allow us to foresee a situation in which it rains as much as is necessary to solve this.

Angel Rivera

Our neighborhood has seen plenty of rain this year.

Allen Tucker

Most mountaintops will experience a little bit of snow and a lot of people will experience whiter stuff mixed with rain at the lower elevations.

Bob Benjamin

We've seen worse, but I'm sure there are people in parts of Toronto who were not happy to see any rain after the events of Aug. 19.

Geoff Coulson

When you go a long time without rain, debris builds up in the ditches, ... And when the rain hits, it builds up in the ditches. And when the rain hits, it piles up in the mouth of the pipe. And that causes the blockage.

Bob Wright

Thunderstorms are a main concern because they can drop lots of rain in a hurry.

Gary Votaw

We just couldn't get much going tonight. We'd been off for four days because of the rain. We hate to make excuses, but it's been like that all year long. We play three games in a row and start clicking, then we're off because of the rain and we just can't get it going again.

Tracy Brookover

This time of year, these fronts are ineffective in producing a lot of rain.

Randy Lascody

It's one thing to get 4 or 5 inches of rain over 24 hours, it's quite another to get it so quickly. It's got to go somewhere. Conversely, Philadelphia and Trenton got barely an inch. Their problems came the next day with the water coming downstream.

Larry Nierenberg

We expressed to them our concern of the ability to house people if it rains and whether there were enough safeguards for some of the bands with their electrical equipment outside.

Brian Humphrey

If we get more rain, we will see more flood warnings.

Ray Collins

We put up 24 runs in three innings before rain ended it. It was 24-3, and they handed us the trophy. ?You earned it,? they said.

Chris Fisher

It has quietened down a fair bit with this rain, but it is still not over yet.

John Winter

These rains could overflow rivers and provoke flooding and even mudslides.

Jose Ramon Salinas

There's no rain, and that's good news.

Saturday should be like Friday, lots of hit-and-miss rain. By Monday we should be rain-free.

Eric Christensen

Roads through previously remote rain forests create easy access for commercial hunters to find and transport endangered forest animals to city markets.

Erick Brownstein

With all the rain, it's reproducing rapidly, ... It has gone from covering 10 percent of the lake a week ago, and today it's covering 15.

Eric Swanson

I?m so tired of rain.

Elaine Pardee

We're at Mother Nature's mercy, until it rains, ... We could use all the water in Somerset County and it would still burn.

Edward Callahan

Vexed sailors cursed the rain, for which poor shepherds prayed in vain.

Edmund Waller

I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.

Eden Ahbez

We knew it wasn't a matter of if it was going to rain, but when.

Ed Goren

Rain not only produces all this water, it causes people to close their doors and lock their windows. That basically locks in the humidity.

Ed Garcia

It was only two days of rain then. We've gotten ... how many days of rain in the last two weeks?

Ed Youmans

Certainly, this is the most difficult (weather) I've ever seen far and away. The rain and the conditions in general - it's never been this bad.

Ed Youmans

In many respects, because of the advent new rains this week, we are still in the response mode.

Ed Teixeira

Our weather folks are telling us we're going to get some rain, but the problem is it will be isolated. What we really need is sustaining rain, one of those long rains you like for your gardens.

E. Lynn Burkett

Any size rain garden is better than no rain garden.

Zora Lathan

One of my friends said almost nothing is left. Buildings are down, electricity is gone. Telephone lines are down and rain is pouring in and hundreds of people are lying dead and nobody's there to bury them.

Zakir Hussain

I was worried about the amount of rain we might get. Mr. Cooley (EBHS Principal) and I got in touch with Pickering and they agreed to play Thursday.

Ernie Bertrand

The danger now is that after a week of rain every river and stream in Massachusetts is in danger of flooding.

Eric Fehrnstrom

There's an overwhelming amount of windfall, more than I've ever seen in spring. And the rain we got last fall and this spring just hosed everything.

Erik Skabelund
