Rained like crazy today, more than we've seen before. Hours hard with lots of lightning and thunder. Over a foot of water in front of our porch - almost up to the porch. Katrinka paused yoga (we do it to a Bikram audio) to get stuff on the porch up so it wouldn't wash away - sandals and stuff. After yoga I put on a swim suit and waded out to the street in the continuing downpour. Lake on the soccer field beyond the field across the street. Schoolgirls walking in the rain without umbrellas. I wondered how hard rain can get.
