Well, I practically live in the middle of a forest, given the fact that all the terrain around the valley my city's located is well, a forest xd
Oh, you say you get lots of rain; according to the link you posted, Portland's going to be rainy in the next 10 days.. well, 7 of 10 days; while here, it's going to be raining all 10 days, 5 of which are lightning storms.
Oh, do some research, I just discovered that when moisture gets behind a wall, it can even damage the health of the inhabitants of the house.
