Went out at lunchtime to walk around the parking lot for a bit of exercise and fresh air. Two steps out of the building it was apparent that it was going to rain big time any minute. As a matter of fact it was raining lightly as we pulled the cockpit cover off and raised the top. Lightning was visible to the south as we walked back in. Smug with the satisfaction of dodging a bullet, we returned inside. Well Mother Nature doesn’t like smugness, so she made it not rain at all over our company’s property all afternoon.
When we left work it still looked like rain in spots so we left the top up. Good thing too as at about the halfway mark on the trip home we ran into literally a wall of water. With the windshield wipers on high a forward speed at 20 MPH was too fast. The lightning was flashing all around us like we were Madonna and Guy Ritchie entering an LA eatery. Then about a block from home it throttled back to just a normal light rain. I bet we had 3″ of rain in the 20 minutes it took us to drive 3 miles.
