Since last week it has been raining here and I'm not complaining about it. because I love Rainy days. but with torrential rains, there comes a few problems. also, these problems can be huge problems like flooding. but today I'm going to talk about small problems that occur when it rains heavily.
- Can't Dry Clothes
We dry clothes using sunlight like many other people do. when it rains all day every day we don't have enough sunlight to dry our clothes. so we try to hang our clothes inside the house and hope the wind will dry it. and when the sun shines we take the drying cloths outside even if it is for half an hour. nobody likes to wear wet clothes right? So we do everything we can to dry our clothes as quick as possible.
- Power Outages
with heavy rains, there come strong winds. so these winds knock down trees onto power lines. sometimes if the soil is too damp, small wind can knock down power lines poles too. last week we had power outages for three days straight. no battery in phones. little to no communication. but we survived. I believe power line workers worked day and night to get the grid back online.
- Muddy Roads
Not all the roads are paved in our area. because of that even with a small rain, the roads get muddy. there are several potholes in one road. because of that, we try to minimize traveling on dirt rods on rainy days. Also, we try to fix broken rods as much as we can.
Those are some problems we face these days. but we still try to make the most out of it. good rain means there is enough water to sustain a growing season. I will show you rice fields in our area in one of my future posts. until then, this is it for this article. Thank you so much for reading. I will see you in my next article.
