Has it Rained Cats and Dogs in Chicago?
Let's get one thing straight: Chicagoans are used to wind, not water. We're the Windy City, not the Rainy City. But today? Well, today might be giving that nickname a run for its money. It's like Mother Nature decided to open up the sky-sized fire hydrant and give the city a good old-fashioned soaking.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
But how much, exactly? That's a great question. The answer, unfortunately, is not as simple as "a lot." Weather people love to use fancy terms like "precipitation levels" and "cumulative rainfall." Honestly, who can understand that stuff? We just want to know if we need an ark or not.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Checking the Weather Reports (Or Trying To)
I've tried to decipher the weather reports, but it's like trying to read hieroglyphics after a three-day bender. One report says it's a drizzle, another says it's a deluge. I'm starting to think the weather forecasters are just having fun with us.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Pro Tip: If you're planning on going outside, bring an umbrella. And maybe a snorkel, just in case.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.

Let's Make a Rain Gauge (Or Not)
If you're really curious about the exact rainfall, you could always make a rain gauge. Grab an empty tuna can, stick a ruler in it, and voila! You're a meteorologist. Or you could just check your phone. Your call.
Important Note: Don't try this if you live on the top floor of a skyscraper.

Disclaimer: I am not a meteorologist. My weather forecasting skills are about as accurate as a weather app on a hot air balloon.
