The Rain keeps coming down

It's been raining for seven days in row. Cambridge, MA is becoming a little frustrated right now since we did not see any sun in the last week. Last night we need to call sum plumbers, because in the basemment of our house here in Cambridge, MA we had more than 20 cm's of water.

This is by the way an amazing finding for Europeans in the U.S. . It seems to me as if houses are mostly built out of wood and directly onto the ground withough having a solit cement-based fundament. In our house, we just have a couple of brick-walls, which are directly built on the clay-type of ground. In consequence, in situations of heavy rain, the water will always find ways to get into the house.

I'll try to post some pictures pretty soon!
