Lots of Rain

Over the last couple of weeks, Indianapolis has gotten pummeled with rain. As I'm sitting here watching the Cubs, Fox is running a flash flood warning and seven counties south of Indy have declared a "Level 1 Flood Emergency." Authorities are asking residents not to travel. There have been about three or four occasions where our back yard has flooded full of water lately, which makes me laugh, because the "pond" fills up with mallards almost immediately. I finally got downstairs and took a few pictures of it.

This bad weather is causing all kinds of problems. Some of my coworkers lost power and had flooded basements last week. Hopefully that's not happening again right now. Surely the construction schedules for the bridges on my route to work are falling behind. It looks like the rain has hopefully stopped for today, but Monday and Tuesday are still showing isolated thunderstorms. Any ideas why this stuff is happening in June instead of April?

My guess is El Nino.
