Cloud Burst


It was still sunny when I was riding home but up in the mountains it looked black and ominous. By the time I got to into the hills, it wasn't raining but it looked like it bucked down as there was water everywhere.

I asked the boys at home when I finally arrived about the rain, apparently it rained for only half an hour and it came down dogs and cats. I went to check the rain gauge and it measured 18mm. It must have being a cloud burst because there was not rain elsewhere. 18mm of rain in half an hour is a lot of water and it is showing by our overflowing swimming pool.
