In the real sense of it, I agree. You’re not gonna be doing yard work or hanging outside on your patio, or eating outside at your favorite pub/restaurant. Ya you won’t flood with a half to 3/4 of an inch, but the sensible weather still sucks.
If it was snow, and you’re talking 3-6”, vs 18-24”+, then sure that’s a huge difference in that regard. But this is rain, and wet is wet.
