A number of people around here have heavy tent fabric (cotton duck?)
curtains inside their porches to keep the rain out. I don't know if
they are mainly decorative and always open, or are closed during storms
- I tend not to be watching people's houses if I am driving in a rainstorm.

You would not have been watching anything this morning, except the road, if
you'd been driving around here today. LOL We had about 10-inches of rain in
this area between midnight and 6:00 a.m. Many people living near the bayous
and creeks had to be evacuated from their homes.
I feel so sorry for some apt. dwellers; they recently moved into a brand new
apt complex, and woke up to find water seeping in from underneath the floor.
The street in front of my house had some water accumulated along the edges
earlier, but that's gone now. We didn't get our paper delivered on time
because of the heavy rains and many flooded dtreets, according to the
delivery man.

How dreadful. Our street occasionally flash floods, IF we get more than
3" of rain in an hour and another inch the next hour, but because we
live in the old part of town the original developers allowed for that.
Our house is raised up on pilings in the traditional manner, and the
lawn slopes down towards the street, so altogether I figure my living
room floor is about five feet above the center of the street.
We didn't even flood after Katrina (praise Heaven!) because we are -
again - in the old part of town which was built on the high ground.
