We had a huge storm this afternoon that dropped a couple of inches of rain in about an hour. It was notable because of the size of the storm. Pretty much all areas of town got hit with a deluge.
I mentioned yesterday that there is a steady supply of imbeciles that don't understand that you can't drive a car through four foot deep water. That didn't stop this woman from trying.
Photo by Aaron J. Latham/Arizona Daily StarDowntown, in our fair city we have two underpasses that date to the early 1900s. They have inadequate drainage and fill with water to a depth of 8 feet when it rains like it did today. Invariably someone ignores the clearly marked depth indicator and get his or her car totally submerged. We had one of those today.
Son Sneed had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and when we left for it, the storm was really building. I took these pictures from our front yard.
My favorite sight today was this guy, who decided that getting out of the car in the rain was for suckers. He drove right up the sidewalk at the doctor's office and parked on the porch.

That's you, isn't it?
I drove through a flooded underpass in my VW bug once. It made it almost halfway, then FLOATED through the center, then got traction again on the other side.
Too bad it was the most polluting car in history.
Merle, I hope you moved your car--isn't it blocking the doors for wheelchair access?
Dude,
It sure is floody.
If that is your car, it's good to see you're supporting the troops.
This has nothing to do with anything but Kurt... I used to have a VW bug that didn't run, but we used it as a raft in our river that ran through our backyard. It's wise to carry a bail bucket, for obvious reasons.
VW made an amphibious model with the little propeller in the back. I saw one once at the dealer.
I'm so distracted and amused by the comments that I don't remember my own comment.
Man! That's a lotta rain!
That is all.
why is your camry missing the back license plate?
