Well, the thunderstorms I enjoy so much not only made their appearence, they've decided to stay and hang around for a few days.
As is the norm when guests overstay their welcome, bad things tend to occur.
"Other than tornadoes, I’ve never seen anything like this," said Bob Sheld.
He said it appeared that the building suffered a structural failure under the weight of the rain, which is supposed to drain to the back of the building.

Home Depot collapses. A security guard watches the parking lot of The Home Depot in Galveston following the store's collapse early Friday. Officials suspect heavy rains caused water to collect on the roof, which led to the collapse. No injuries were reported.
The forecast is for rain to continue through the weekend.
Damn!! We were just in that store a couple weeks ago.

Jim,
So glad no one got hurt in that Home Depot collapse! Good thing you are in a boat buddy. Maybe you should start looking for pairs of animals?
Same thing is happening at this end of Texas. Forecast is for yet MORE rain?! This area is as lush and green as Florida, the lakes are brmming, it actually got down to 72F this morning. This is global warming?
If so, then I am going to go get a an SUV.
