Got The Car Washed Today

I’m being somewhat sarcastic. We had one huge rainstorm. The rain came down so fast and furious that I needed windshield wipers on the windows of my house in order to see out. The force and amount of the rain washed the dirt off my car. Puddles of water collected on the streets. Lightning lit up the sky and a roaring thunder followed it. Then the water poured out of the sky mixed with a few hailstones. The rain is now gone but it is still cloudy, puddles of water still reside in the street and the lightning still strikes with booms of thunder. And they were forecasting only a twenty percent chance of rain for today? It was forecasted we would have some lightning and but no rain until Monday. Therefore there was much concern about the lightning starting fires. But the way the rain poured out of the sky makes it very unlikely a fire would burn for long. My car is clean now so there will be no need to take it to a carwash it. Here’s some music:

It's rare for it to rain here at this time of the year, too. It's usually the last weeks of August before it rains here.

You DID get a car wash! Well that is so not fair . . . why do you get all that rain and we get none? No free car wash here. I haven't heard this one in a long time . . . maybe because we get no rainy days so the radio doesn't even play it .

I tried to do a Southern California rain dance but the rain just seems to spin in a circle around Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. We were suppose to have rain today but the spin stalled out. It's now forecasted to come in tonight. I haven't heard this song on the radio in a long time.

@much2say I'm sorry, I'm too old to be standing on my head. If it makes you feel any better it's supposed to clear up tomorrow and no rain–at least for the next 5 days or so.

Nice to get a heavy shower when it is so dry, but that was quite a storm.

Nothing like a good rain to wash the car for free!

Luckily you did not get your carwashed and then it rained. I feel sorry for the sucker that caused the rainstorm because they just got their car washed! That is the true rain maker.
