Is it safe to assume that the effects of these storms don't penetrate as far as the area we're talking about?

Um, ha, ha ,ha sorry. I'll be able to contain the chuckles soon.
Right. You have an idea where I am. We get monsoonal downpours during our summer, that originate as Cyclones from the Indian Ocean. They are patchy though.
IE, some years back, a group of us farmer types, were yarning over a beer in the local pub. Someone yelled, "would you look at this". We all strolled to the front window of the bar room, to watch a downpour, run straight up the white centreline marking of the main street. Not one drop of rain on our side of the centreline. And as we are all related to the Irish philosopher Murphy. Where were our vehicles parked, and, how many of us had closed our car windows?
RIGHT, FIRST TIME, BOTH TIMES.
