This is how we wash the cotton in the South, with a little autumn hurricane rain. Hurricane Michael was much nicer to our area then Hurrican Florence was. The tropical storm didn't really start dumping rain on us until just before lunch time today and was leaving the area by dinner time, unlike Flo who hung around for 4 days. It wasn't raining when I started taking photos, but I the second wave of storm hit rather suddenly and I got "washed" as well.
