Rain, Rain, Don't Go Away, Just Slow Down

While we aren't getting so much rain as our neighbors to the North in VA, DC and MD, we are getting our fair share. We haven't had any flooding, but what worries me about so much rain is that as we are in the throes of hurricane season, if a storm comes our way, the earth is saturated and the loss of trees and the ease of flooding could be dramatic.
I love the rain, so I don't want it to go away. I just want it to be a little more spread out. Believe me, our garden is benefitting from the rain AND so is our water bill, but slow down, at least a little!
