I went outside to bring some rain-soaked container plants indoors. Instead of the scent of ozone that one usually smells after a thunderstorm, the air smelled like a campfire that had been doused by fire. Not good.

We saw signs of the rainfall during our walk. The stairway path we walk up was thrashed (sorry, no picture). The air had that wonderful scent, and the light sprinkles mixed with sunshine were pleasant.

Right now, at home, the coffee tastes good.

How wildfires leave communities vulnerable to flooding, mudslides for years

#Wildfires of every size leave behind something known as a #BurnScar, or the area of land charred by flames and left devoid of vegetation.

By Brian Lada

"#Flooding and #DebrisFlows can happen with little warning in burn scars and most commonly occur during a heavy thunderstorm or major #rainstorm.

"'Rainfall that would normally be absorbed will run off extremely quickly after a #wildfire, as burned soil can be as water repellent as pavement. As a result, much less rainfall [than normal] is required to produce a #FlashFlood,' The National Weather Service (#NWS) said."

Rain is a Thing

So rain is still a thing. I mean this from a work point of view.

When Covid hit and we all started working from home full time, I learned to stop really worrying about rain. I didn’t have a commute anymore so I didn’t need to drive to and from work in the rain. I didn’t need to walk out to a parking lot in the rain. I didn’t even need to walk to the driveway. From the perspective of getting to and from work rain (and snow) stopped being a concern at all.

Now that we’re back in the office at least some of the time it’s a thing again and it sucks.

It is pouring rain today. I’m looking out the window and the parking lot looks like a small lake. I have to drive to a different building soon and that means I have to go out in this suck-fest of a rain storm and get drenched so that I can make the next meeting.

Working at home is so much better than working in the office. So much better.

Thus concludes this morning’s rant about rain. Thank you for your time and patience.

There's a rainstorm outside. It doesn't sound the same as the rainstorms I had in Singapore. The sound of individual droplets on rooftop windows and cobble stone streets is different from the massive downpour of sky Niagaras on palm trees and covered walkways.

Yet, I did what I always did in SG: open the doors and windows and listen to the rain.

So soothing.
