Well, that was exciting - we had a rainstorm yesterday afternoon (a change from the regular 7pm ones), and wow did it rain. 7 inches in about 2 hours, thats some heavy shit.
Cat was coming to pick me up for 5, but the rain had flooded so many intersections (and cars), she didnt get here til 5:30 (for a 10 minute drive) and we had a look at the queue to get off this island and decided we could just have dinner here instead (which we did, a middle-easternish restaurant that was pretty underwhelming over all), then finally left about 7. \
Amazingly, the drains here are so good that the floods had all abated by then, and the bottlenecks cleared up so we had an easy trip home. I wish I'd gotten a picture of some of the major intersections though, with water four and five feet deep ... and idiots trying/failing to drive through it.
