Even Juneauites are not used to almost 12 inches of rain in a one-month period. Of the 31 days in August, only one was without precipitation. Probably the worst of it was at the end of the month as the winds increased to enhance the misery. Then a miracle happened. We awoke Saturday to blue skies and sunny weather. I am not sure there was a single resident who was not outside doing something. That night, I drove to the camp-ground near my house and took photos of the road underwater. This is almost 24 hours after the rains stopped and apparently the water was much higher earlier in the day.
