history: I was shocked that the parade had many people attend considering the rain pouring down.  I'm amazed on how many people came to the parade considering the rain! Really_comma_ where was this parade at? I'm in Missouri and it was absolutely pouring on Friday
current: I'm here down south and It has been pouring as well, but that didnt stop people from coming! Im shocked. 
next: I usually don't let a little rain stop me unless it's ridiculous!
