Bring It On

[poliphilo]

OK, so where's the torrential rain we've been threatened with? Where's that system- like a gauzy ammonite, like a spiral galaxy of bad intent- they told us was spinning across the Atlantic towards us? Where's it up to? When will it hit? This drizzle doesn't do it for me. I want stair rods. I want thunder and lightening, hail and pace, I want it to fall with the force of a fire hose. 

And mainly I want it to do it now and get it over with, presto, within the next 24 hours, because we'll be driving down to Norfolk tomorrow.
