...Columbia by at least 18 points, Harvard entered its mid-November matchup with undefeated Penn knowing that the league title rested on the outcome. But just as the pressure mounted for the Crimson, so too did the air pressure at Harvard Stadium. In the midst of a driving rainstorm that soaked the field, the Crimson could not find its footing against a nationally-recognized Quaker defense. Harvard fell, 17-7, to Penn (8-2, 7-0), essentially conceding the Ivy crown...

These two do have chemistry, and when a sudden rainstorm catches them outside - doesn't it always? - she leaps at Tatum, wraps her legs around his waist and latches on to his luscious lips with hungry desire.

...recent cover, weekly French newsmagazine Le Point featured a photo of a confounded- looking President Nicolas Sarkozy in a heavy rainstorm with a headline that read what's happening to him?

...devastating rainstorm spawned El Salvador's worst natural disaster in more than a decade, as heavy flooding and punishing mudslides killed at least 160 people in the capital, San Salvador, and the province of San Vicente. The deluge on Nov. 7 and 8 damaged or destroyed at least 2,000 homes--many nestled into hillsides that later gave way--and left much of the country without power or clean water. The low-pressure system also wiped out broad swaths of crops, leaving 10,000 people in need of food aid. Officials fear that the death toll will climb as rescuers...
