Rainy days

We haven't had flooding, or damaging winds, or lightning damage that I know of.  But it has been raining intensely several days in a row.  They have been strongly overcast so we don't have good sunlight and sharp, intense shadows.  Just low lighting, hour after hour.

I sometimes wonder if those with ancestry from the British Isles, stuck out there in the ocean, have any special inherited ability to function well in spite of rainy overcast days and nights.

We have been subject to what I think has been an unusual amount of scattering. They make it quite possible to have no rain in one place and intense rain nearby.  Such conditions make it difficult to explain in words what the weather "here" is or isn't.  We get reports of rain in this community and we can see that parts on radar maps over there are getting pelted while we aren't.
