We were supposed to get some rain today, according to the weather report of last evening, but it was only going to be in the neighborhood of half an inch or so. However, I woke up at my usual time around 4:30 this morning and we were in the middle of an intense rainfall. I quickly fired up my laptop and checked the weather radar and it was reporting that we were getting rainfall totals of around an inch-and-a-half to 2 inches an hour. Right now, it’s slacked off a bit, but the Korean Weather site is showing that we’ve received nearly 4 inches of rain since midnight. We’re also getting our first dose this summer of intense lightning. The good news–no jogging this morning. 
It’s odd, too, because Yeosu and the immediate area is about the only place in all of Korea getting hit with this much rain. It’s as if a small, but extreme, thunderstorm is sitting right on top of us and not moving away. In reality, it appears that the intense part of the system that’s moving in (rain forecast for the rest of today and tomorrow) is sliding just across Yeosu, like we’re in its crosshairs. An interesting morning, so far.
