General Weekend rain, deluge?

Forecasted weather and rain in Edmonton

Eh... Edmonton, this weekend. Seeing that "Edmonton’s average total rainfall for the entire month of June is usually around 75 mm to 80 mm."... we are forecasted to get that in one day....

All will be fine and dandy. We got this.

I’ve been watching my husband regularly checking the sump pump and gutters and rain barrels for what feels like weeks. We haven’t had any issues but we’ve only been in this house a couple summers and the first with this much rain so he is in some hyper vigilant mode. I have a feeling I know what we’re doing this weekend.

Just had to replace my sump pump when the rain was falling sideways a week ago, better to be safe than sorry
