LIGHT rain? 😕

I’m three blocks away from you, and the building has been shaking with thunder and there’s been torrential downpour … it slowed down a few hours ago, but with the way my day is going, expect the floods to come just as it’s time for me to go home.

As I predicted …

I was outside for about ten minutes, walking to the streetcar stop.

Five minutes in, the skies opened, and there was an audible gasp as everyone ran towards shelter.

The streetcar came, I was soaked, and then the rain stopped.
