Really heavy rain falling now!

I said I thought there was more rain on the way, but for a while I
thought I would be proved wrong (who said 'again'?). For once I have
been proved correct, we did have a break from the rain(it even
brightened up for a while) then more rain. Sorry Sally, but I think
there is more to come, get the buckets out!
The next para can be ignored as it is just me rambling.
I have looked at Jeff Masters Blog where he says Colin is the earliest
third named storm on record. If he reads this, please compare Apples
with Apples. Alex, this year's first named storm was an anomaly and
should not be included (in my opinion, for what it is worth), but there
again I am one of those dinosaurs who thinks Pluto should still be a
planet, even more so since we have seen it close up. As for Alex, I feel
storms out of hurricane season, especially that far out should have
another naming sequence, maybe animals, so in my book Alex becomes
Aardvark, leaving Bill to be Alex, Colin to be Bill, etc. Or Alex should
have been Larry as it was nearer to the end of the 2015 season than the
beginning of the 2016 season. Whatever, Jeff, I know it is not your
decision, but please take one off the counter for the rest of this year.
Colin should be the 2nd named storm of the hurricane season.
Whatever, even if "Colin" should be "Bill" , it is early. Also Alex and
Bonnie were the two first named storms of 2004, and we all know the "I"
who came later! 2010 which also had Alex & Bonnie had Igor (which
replaced he whose name must not be mentioned) wandered around the
Atlantic for two weeks, starting in the Cape Verdes area and ending up
near Greenland.
For more useless facts - watch this space.
And still the rain falls. AND I JUST HEARD THUNDER! I think from just
off St George.
