Another rainy night

Last night was another rainy sleepless rainy and sleepless night. Going to bed at 10p I joked to Toby that maybe we wouldn’t be able to hear the rain because the tarps were now raised up. At 11:30p I woke up to a thunderous drumbeat. Toby felt me wake up and said, “Can you hear the rain?”. I got up and checked the 2nd floor. It looked pretty dry and I saw only one area of tarps that I thought might be problematic, and that area was completely over new construction, so I wasn’t worried. The cloudburst passed quickly and I went back to bed. At 2:45a I woke up to deafening rain. I got up and trudged back upstairs. This time I saw many depressions in the tarps where water was not running off. I poked them with the end of a 2×4 and instead of the water running off the roof, it ran backwards and fell onto me. I got Toby up onto the second floor and she used the pushbroom to keep the water from rolling backwards while I used 2 2x4s to direct the water off the roof. We got back into bed at 4am. Rain is forecast again for tomorrow morning.
