Rain Storm

I have a blog friend, named Ellison (hi, Ellison!) who says it rains in Houston like a cow pissing on a flat rock. He has a point:

I wanted to post this on June 6, but somehow, Blogger was having troubles that day, and then... I forgot.

We're mostly cloudy today, with lots of big, white, fluffy clouds that promise only short, intense bursts of very scattered rain showers. This one, on June 6th, was somewhat isolated, in that only a small area ( where we were!), was affected. However, in about 45 minutes, we got about 2 inches of rain.

We were stuck in an Ace Hardware store, and at one point, tho we'd parked within about 12 feet of the front door, we could not see our red van.

Yep, our friend, Ellison is right.

Cow, meet Rock.

  2. Good Gawd, that's some serious rain. It was doing that here, too, Tuesday evening, along with that sparky-flashy stuff. Foo.
