People on the east coast think I'm crazy, but man do I envy your rain and storms! We get rain only 2-3 months a year, but this year it rained a total of 2-3 times instead of months. Something like 95% of California is experiencing its worst drought on record. It's so crazy-dry here, I'd pay a whole lot of money for a storm to hit. :)

That being said, Author is a silly name for it. Doesn't sound scary at all! Makes me think of an old English man enjoying a spot of tea instead of something that could wreck houses.
