A rainy lunch in the car. Alabama. July 2020. |

Mobile, Alabama, receives more than five FEET of water every year, with an average of 59 rainy days per year.
Seattle isn't even in the top 20.
I have pulled out my vastly under-used yellow poncho that I bought 10 years ago when I lived in Caucasus, Georgia.
