Flash flood

Weather is scary! As I drove home from work yesterday, a huge crack of lightning illuminated the gray sky and opened up the clouds! Suddenly, a sheet of water was coming down and traffic slowed to a halt.

I had my windshield wipers on full and still struggled to see inches in front of me. It was like being in a car wash, only I had to navigate.

Huge puddles materialized from nowhere, cars failed to stay in their own lanes because they couldn't see the lane markers and it took me an additional 20 minutes to get home.

In San Francisco, I guess I never really had to deal with weather.
