The pronoun {'oH} is wrong there, you don't need it. The use of v#7 {-taH} is not wrong, but it seems 
redundant, unless it's really a continuously ongoing condition.
Hm. that makes me think of the following: since we know that it will stop raining - even if we don't 
know when - some day, shouldn't we use v#7 {-lI'}??

I still think you use {-taH} to often. Maybe you're to close to the english "not complain-ing" and 
"laugh-ing" forms?
{HaghtaH} reminds me of a lut tlhaQ -session where they've been laughing all day.
