The storm caught me about three miles from home last night. For about two miles before that I had fun in winds changing back and forth between head wind and cross wind. But just as some sprinkles started hitting me, a strong tail wind pushed me up a hill and I thought I might be able to beat the storm home.

But then the sprinkles suddenly changed to heavy rain and the lightning and thunder hit. I stopped in front of a house, hopped off and quickly walked under an awning type carport to wait it out. I texted my wife to let her know I was stopped for a few and checked the radar. While waiting, one of the residents pulled in and waved to me. When she got out I said, "I hope you don't mind."

She said, "Not at all. We had about six in here the other day." Some more lightning and thunder made her give a scared look and she darted inside the house. A few minutes later and the rain let up enough that I could ride on home.

Here's a short video I made while waiting:
