We've been here full time since January. Yes there had been two times since where there was a short, night time heavy shower, the all day rain on Sunday was a nice respite from the heat and sun.

We opened all our windows to let in the cool, fresh air.

I noticed our neighbors gutter was overflowing and let him know. He had a birdcage installed a few months ago, and the contractor apparently didn't checkout the downspout -- no hole in the gutter to let the water drain into the downspout!

So, folks, that daytime rain was an opportunity to make sure your drainage systems were ok.
