Will it ever stop raining? It is pouring down and blowing a gale as I write. This is supposed to be spring. I know it says 'April showers' but this daily battering is too much.  During the afternoon, a sudden 'out of nowhere' thunderstorm followed  by hail. I turned off my computer just for extra safety.
