For the first time ever, the west coast seems to be escaping most of it.

Very odd to see Dublin getting more rain than we are.

WTF is happening? [Huge areas of Italy flooded](http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/10/26/five-killed-in-italian-floods/) and parts of Rome are about to go under. Bangkok’s swimming. Pakistan again. Now Dublin too.
