For my remote friends: We just had a zero-to-60 thunderstorm featuring horizontal rain and pea-sized hail, sweeping right in from a fine blue day. And it isn't the first time it's happened this week, either.

You sure you're not in Wisconsin or Iowa? That's what most of the state looked like a couple weeks ago.

The difference is that here, it dries up again in an hour or so.

Or rather, it all eventually gets into the storm drains, which aren't built to handle high-volume torrents of this sort. (Or so runs my best understanding.)
