The thunderstorms finally got the best of me. We've been having regular violent thunderstorms all summer, but I have managed to avoid them for the most part. Last week, I just missed a big storm in the afternoon and it chased me all the way home. However, a huge storm developed yesterday right before I normally leave work. I considered leaving early and making a run for it, but fortunately decided to grab a ride home with a coworker after consulting the radar. It was raining so hard we could hardly see and the roads were flooded in several places. The storms were "training," so I would have had to stay at work a long time to wait out the storm.

The worst part is that I was forced to drive today since my bike was stuck at work. That might not be so bad if we get more storms this afternoon, but will make it a challenge to load my bike in my truck so I can get it back home.
