And The Rain, Rain, Rain REALLY Came Down, Down, Down

Holy cow! I just went outside to get my mail (just the phone bill) and bring my landlady her newspapers (lazy people who deliver them can't get out of their cars to bring them to the porch of a very old woman who can't bend over). I was right - it really, REALLY rained out there! How did I know I was right? My recycling bucket, which was barely a quarter full, was overflowing with water, to the point where several items were floating and some had fallen out! I managed to get the water out, and it was so heavy, it must have taken me at least five minutes.
