Definitely looks like water is going to be a problem for the morning commute tomorrow.
I saw that warning and just KNEW you'd find some way to spin it. I wish someone would be the voice of reason and recognize the faults with each entity:
1. Yes, there has been a lot of rain lately. Yes, the weather could have done less flooding. Roofs and bridges are failing to do their job to keep water out of our homes and cars.
2. Turner has lost credibility due to repeated thunderstorms that he never takes responsibility for. He has forgotten the golden rule of meteorology: The weatherman is always wrong.
3. I forgot what number 3 is.
Will someone please give me the straight scoop on this "precipitation" in as unbiased manner as possible so that we can all try to fit under the same umbrella?
