I hate rainy days after today.........

Well Today looked like a great day when I left for work at 7am but it started raining about 10am. Tought nothing of it because we have had a lot of rain in the last week no biggy. Well after work I come at about 4:30pm to see my living room and porch was flooded by the rain. ALL of the furniture rugs etc. was soaked at the bottom. I moved everyting out of the water got the shop vac out only to find mine is the one that hates water and starts sparking So I got the broom out and started sweeping water out of the poarch door. 2 hours later the majority of the water is gone and I have a wet and dirty floor so I had to go buy a mop bucket and mop. Went out to find the GMC's back window seal had blowen out of a few spots leaving the floor soaked and the seat very wet. I don't know if we had a twister or the truck had a bad seal but either way it did'nt make my uncle happy when I told him over the phone his new truck was soaked.
Just wanted to vent my frustration

Howdy Dan,
Sorry to hear about your day But look on the bright side. The truck still runs, the house is still standing and it wasn't a bad hair day

Too bad the rain isnt over arizona.

Most of the Mogollon rim is on fire. Two fires merged into one. Burned down a few cities/towns already.

Sorry to hear about your benz, but try to send the mosture back to the west.

Howdy Austin
My Aunt & Uncle live near the rim and they are ready if the fires sweep west. I heard there might be a fire near Stawberry but don't know about that.

Ya I know how the fire issue goes when we had our wild fires they got about a half a mile away from my house. We need the rain bad but all at once does no good everything floods and then we go 4 or 5 months with no rain.
Hope you guys get your fire problems taken care of.
PS
It was in the GMC
I called the dealership where we bought it they said bring it in they would replace the seal and shampoo the seats. (rubber flooring)

Maybe it will get the GM stench out of them. Don't forget the truck has just over 2k on it no where near broken in.

I don't like the way this truck smells for some reason I guess it is because of all the rubber
