You know the rain is bad:
When your house broke dog is seriously considering pad training.
The chickens have learned the backstroke.
You need scuba gear to dive for the eggs.
You know the rain is bad when you got a RIVER in your crawl space!!!!!
I just found my 3rd roof leak(new roof in 08!) and the crawl always gets a river after a hard rain.Been raining for 2 days now,so I gotta go under and get the pump going. Brrrrrrrrrr it is cold too.
You know the rain is bad when you use the water gushing out of the gutters downspout to rinse your boots off after mucking through your now marshy pasture.
