Brenda, what we laughed about was, 10 minutes after I took this photo, you probably guessed it..........the rain stopped as fast as it started pouring down! A lesson in patience. HA! Sadly we needed rain and got nothing and we live 1 mile away from the shopping area here in this photo. Ugggg. All the dang suffering and none of the benifits. Isn't it fun to watch it rain like this!

Kleivis, it is something to see rain like this. It rained a total of 20 minutes and they had over an inch of rain, just like that. I heard there was an area that got 4" in an hour. All it does then is run into the streets and flood things. No time to soak into the ground. Pretty fun to see it. Weeeeeeee, cars splashing huge waves of water into the air, people going out getting wet in seconds flat, just a lot of fun. I got soaked just popping the lens out for this shot. But only on my left side. hahaha

This is exactly what's going on here at the moment - torrents and torrents! You've totally caught the intensity of the downpour. I hate shopping in heavy rain and pushing a loaded cart to my car.

I live in a city with a lot of rain, but I have to say, this is rain! And this sight we don't se to often (should I say what a luck!). Hope you were covered. Nice take.
