Our place used to be owned by a fellow with the last name Gore (no, not AL). When it comes a really big rain, water rushes out of the pasture and around the house. Makes a good waterfall out by the road. Also makes the hall toilet back up. I guess my husband bought the place when it was dry because the first time it happened his nieghbors asked, "Didn't you know about the Gore River?"
So we have the Gore River here, and when I see it coming I just shut off the water to the hall bathroom and tell everyone not to use it.
Then there's the old standby, turd floater. I don't know the origins of that one but I think it must have something to do with my hall bathroom... :shock:

Raining cats and dogs, hay rotter, pouring buckets, toad strangler, chicken choker (Florida) :lol:
All I can think of right now.

Speaking of heavy rains, anyone remember or read about Hurricane Camille in 1969? It hit our county, Nelson, the hardest of anywhere, I believe. There was a program on the Discovery Channel a few years back. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it seems there was something like a couple hundred people killed in our county. You can still see scars in the mountainsides of the mudslides.
