Is this normal? Well, no. A 600-mile storm is like the weather saying, "Hey, remember summer? Let me fix that memory for you."

It’s caused by a clash of warm and cold air. Think of it as a grumpy ex who won’t leave the party. Except the ex is made of clouds and has a grudge against your barbecue plans.
The jet stream is also to blame. That invisible wind river is taking a detour right over our heads. Thanks, jet stream. Very cool.
What Should You Do?
First, don’t panic-buy bread and milk. We’re not facing a zombie apocalypse; it’s just wet outside. You’ll survive without toast for a day.
Second, clear your gutters. Yes, your gutters. I know they’re gross, but if they clog, your living room becomes a swimming pool. A very depressing swimming pool with your couch in it.
Third, charge your phone. Power outages are possible, and you’ll need something to scroll while listening to the rain tap-dance on your roof. Priorities, people.
