I chose to write 10 sentences. 

It had been raining.

It was currently raining.

It was going to keep raining for the forecastable future.

The rain poured down in proverbial buckets.

If raining cats and dogs were an actual thing, the buckets would 

be overflowing with calicos and Cocker spaniels.

As it was, all that overflowed were the house gutters, 

the street gutters, and the banks of the creeks running through town.

Reporters, water dripping from soggy ponchos, were sent out “on 

the scene” holding useless umbrellas.

Anchors, from their dry newsrooms, claimed the water levels were 

at a record high, and “Thanks for that update, Jill!”

Looking out my window I can see the drenched neighbors 

frantically moving soggy lumber into their carport.

I think they may be building an ark.
