    The Bulletin: ⛈️ Is this week's newsletter cancelled due to rain?  [Issue #90]Photograph: Lucas Païta on Unsplash

    A hard rain's fallen and gonna fall: After yesterday's precise forecast of nickel-sized hail hitting the city, the torrential downpour from Debby's tropical storm last week, and stormclouds on the horizon for this weekend, things are up in the air.

    We're hoping you and yours haven't been hit too hard by the flooding; we've found some quick hits for support here, here, and especially here.

    For those of you who are into going out this weekend and braving some potential showers, a few festivals are keeping the fires of summer lit, but it's not all about the outdoors. If you'd prefer a rainy day in, the city's awash with action in restaurants and bars, film screenings, pinball tournaments, and dance parties as well.
