It’s not quite 10:30 on Saturday here in Manchester and the rain coming down like a wall, like is crashing down like some huge thing!

I really can’t can’t remember hearing something like this. Wow again, the temp just dropped like 10 degrees (by feel). Should i rip my shirt and boxers off and run into it all, or stay on my couch? Decisions.

Sounds like a typical Southern US thunderstorm, but without the lightning.

Sometimes, those gully-washers will pelt you with hail.

Nude swimming is always a good idea. Even in rain.
