The last few days have seen sporadic outbursts of drenching rain. Many Clark County high schools are holding grad ceremonies this week. The larger schools often must hold them outdoors. My son walks tonight with hundreds of Seniors from Heritage High School here in the 'Couv'. Thankfully, MacKenzie Stadium has covered seating for some 7000 people so I will be dry, but the grads are down on the field.
We are hardy up here in the Northwest. We don't pop an umbrella every time the sky drips, but these locally heavy showers have been producing rain at the rate of a couple inches an hour. That is drenching to the bone my friends. The squalls tend to be brief but at those rates of rainfall even five minutes will make you feel like a drowned rat.
Let's hope the worst is behind us and all the grads can enjoy dry weather as the receive their high school diplomas this week.
