Default Rain totals by Village?

I find it amazing how little rain we get in the Village of Buttonwood. The sky gets dark, the rumbles and lightning flashes start, and then a few drops or nothing. In the past week, I've watched the radar and have seen approaching storms, and they always seem to dissipate when they reach here. Is it me, or do we get less rain in the Villages than the surrounding areas? And no, I don't think it has anything to do with the amount of rooftops and concrete, because if it did, NY, Philly, Chicago, etc. would be in deserts. This seems to have been going on for quite awhile, not just the past few weeks, and I'm sure people in other villages see the same thing.
