That's right. We finally had that spell of rain we'd been expecting from Ireland. Typically, it's showery here, but the rain is relatively light. This weekend, we got about 3 inches in 24 hours, and it was a disaster - - flooding everywhere. Reuben and I had gone in to town for the afternoon to visit Kilmainham Gaol. On the way back to the train, we got caught in a downpour wearing our summer clothes. My 2 euro umbrella shattered, and I got soaked. We'd planned to stay downtown all night, but this was a complete bust. By the time we got back to the apartment, there was water filling the elevator shaft. I guess this is what happens when you live on a small rock in the Atlantic.
