No Flooding?

OK, this was funny stuff. Scroll down to read the Gazette's article and then scroll back up to read the posts.....

OK folks, settle down. We print dozens of stories and headlines in print and online every day. Not every one of them is as good as we'd like them to be, but we have more work to do and deadlines to meet.

The issue here is how much rain. A little bit of rain, and not a lot of flooding. A lot of rain, and the situation changes. That's what Idzerda wrote yesterday, and she based the story on an interview with a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Sullivan. The headline could have better described the situation and prospects, but that's water over the dam - so to speak.

The situation is very fluid - OK, no more puns - so things are tough to nail down. but we'll keep trying.
