Insane rain!!!!

[XmisterIS]

I've never before in this country seen rain quite as heavy as we had it this morning down here in Aaaaaam'shur. I was in the car on the motorway, the rain was so heavy no one was doing more than 15 mph. It was like driving through a lake. I felt particularly sorry for the biker who'd managed to get himself slowly down the hard shoulder to sit under a motorway bridge.

XmrsIS went to take XlittleIS down to playgroup, which is no more than 100m from our front door. She got half way, turned round, came back. Every item of clothing she was wearing was wringing wet, including her waterproofs! She'd been out in it for about 3 minutes.

I can honestly say the only time I've ever before experienced rain that ferocious was out in the tropics, in the Far East, during the monsoon.

Global warming baby...

It's going to keep on hitting you like a deranged hobo until you admit it exists

Someone should start an action group called "Fairweather bikers Against Fossil Fuels".

At least in Asia the rain is bloody warm!

I watched one bloke leave to get his lunch earlier - he got about 15-20 metres before realising it was a bad idea.

He wasn't wearing a jacket.

He was very wet.

Very, very wet.

Florida has the same warm rain minus the acid you get in a lot of China's rain.

I was out in it on Monday, full waterproofs, was more annoyed the bike would need another clean so soon. Really nervous about dipping the exhaust which runs under my bike into the flooded parts of the road though, as I've known someone get a cracked collector from the sudden cooling affect.
