Summer in Indiana means rain. It's normal. The recent heat wave is unusual, but today we had a lot of rain in the morning (and there's more predicted for this afternoon) and it's cooler.
We're also under an "areal flood warning," which I consistently hear as an "aerial flood warning," meaning the floodwaters will be higher than people's TV aerials. Nope. Nor is it "a real flood warning" but they forgot to hit the space bar. The entire forecast area is at some risk of flooding. Sure enough, my basement took on a little water, enough to make a puddle draining away to the floor drain.
At least it's not so beastly hot.

Once as a plumber had a call from a woman whose sump pump wasn't keeping up with flooding, Turned out it sat in a hole in the basement slab, not a proper sealed pit. Like making a hole in a boat to let the bilge water run out.
It's going to be 103 here in Sacramento. I'd kill for 10 minutes of hard rain today.
