Sounds like a deal!
At Darrington 3 years ago we got 3-4 inches of rain on the Saturday night.
We ended up jamming inside the Westy (banjo, mandolin, guitar AND double
bass!) because of the amount of rain splashing up into the shelter. We were
an island completely surrounded by water...but the EZ up survived just fine.
