A Water Logged Mexican Independence Day

Robert:

Today is the 16 of September, Mexican Independence Day, and normally we would have started the day with parades in every little town in Mexico. But, in this area, many had to be canceled. The remnants of former tropical depression Manuel paraded through the area instead. A different kind of "float" was on display.

There was nothing dramatic; rather just about 12 straight hours of steady moderate rain that began around 4 a.m. and finally tapered off around 4 p.m.

No wind, no lightning, just cool, steady rain. (Kind of nice, really, but I feel sorry for all the kids who missed out on the parades.)
