I have NOTHING to post about, so since it’s been raining for about the last few weeks, I decided to make a post about cool rain facts! Here are some facts from www.infobarrel.com:

1. The umbrella was originally invented to protect people from the hot sun.

2. Rain drops can fall at speeds of about 22 miles an hour.

3. Rain starts off as ice or snow crystals at cloud level.

4. Light rain is classified as being no more then 0.10 inches of rain an hour.

5. Heavy rain is classified as being more then 0.30 inches of rain an hour.

6. Louisiana is the wettest state in the U.S, which received an annual rainfall of 56 inches.

7. Rain drops range in size from 0.02 inches to about .031 inches.

8. Rain drops do not fall in a tear drop shape, they originally fall in the shape of a flat oval.

9. Rain that freezes before it hits the ground is known as frozen rain.

10. Rain is recycled water that evaporated from our worlds lakes, rivers, oceans, seas etc.

Sorry for the suckish post! :lol: Cya.

Thank you for your helpful advice, so i am going to create a separate site. It just gets hard to keep track of the orders while life blogging.

I love the rain. And who would have thought the umbrella could be used for sun, before the rain. So i guess one day it was sunny so this guy brought his umbrella then it rained and he realized this is really good for rain too. Nice post! :)
