shichahnFor those who didn't already know, I'm home! Hooray! I have about three weeks before work starts. Mmm... three free weeks. Yay~
So today here in the Portland metro area, we had a pretty extreme storm. It was a nice sunny, warm day until about 4:00 when there was a very brief torrential downpour that made my Opuntia kind of sad. Then it was nice again until about 7:00, when we suddenly got a major thunderstorm, and it rained for about three hours. And boy did it rain. Within two hours, most of Portland was flooded and under up to five inches of water. I have never seen anything like that in so short a period of time. The gutters were overflowing about an hour into the storm, and the bay window I sit in front of was like being behind a waterfall. It was like the storm we had in Walla Walla on Friday, only way worse and several times as long.
I love storms. XD
