After watching the rain go all around me, with thunder and lightning in the distance to the east, north, and west but nothing coming up the weather trail from the south, I went to bed disappointed last night. And I overslept. Woke up to more thunder so hurried to let the dogs out. They had barely enough time for their morning "business" when a small but powerful cell opened up right on top of me. In less than ten minutes, my yard is flooded and there's a steady stream of water where my driveway is.

and it won't last more than another 10 minutes.
