Don’t let the rain come down

What a Monday morning. Grab your umbrella and galoshes, pop a Prozac, and stay away from rivers on the rise. Last night, the National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for “poor drainage areas” in Flathead County.

After a cold and wet weekend, my reaction is: Don’t let the rain come down! Which is what the Serendipity Singers sang in 1964, the year of the biggest flood (PDF 21MB) in the Flathead’s history. Thanks to anal retentive intellectual management policies, the Serendipity Singers’ performance can be watched only on YouTube. But this video by the Hal Leonard Choral is pretty good.
