Interesting. Normal warm day, a few clouds, stopped at the library downtown on the way home from work. Ten minutes later hear all this crashing - thunder. Deluge outside...

So I sat on a sheltered bench outside reading until it let up a little, then headed home - by which time the streets were ridiculously flooded. I rode through a bunch of sections with water up to my axles, and got totally doused by cars ramming through the water along the streets....

Changed and went back out to pick up my kid from school, by which time most of it had subsided and it was about back to normal.
