This is nothing new. But, it is a reminder that global climate change is very much here and not going away. I, for one, do not look forward to rain, rain and more Ohio rain and extra-irritated eyes.

A new federal report on the already-visible effects of global climate change (as I've said before, it's a creeper, not Armageddon, but things are changing, like excess Midwest rain).
