perhaps I should have stayed in Metro

The light is somehow off, perhaps the angle is wrong. In places the sky shades towards green, in others it is purple. I could not see the lane dividers on Mopac and drove 45mph. The water was coming down so thick that it couldn't run off the street fast enough, so my wheels would kick more onto my windshield. Coming over the flyover to 183, I felt like I could have reached out my window and touched the clouds fingers hanging down. There was lightning, everywhere at once.

But my little yellow rose made it safely home, so it's not so bad.

Indeed. I got soaked dashing to the car. I always leave the umbrella in the car, damn it.

I hope the rain made it to San Antonio! We need it bad. I guess the same system stranded me here in Dallas.

Indeed. It is rather wet outside. Such a relief, in this rather dry summer.

It was really bad over here to I was driving to see my friend right when it started coming down and I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me on riverside (not fun) I am glad you are ok though.
