summer rains

We have had a couple of days of heavy rain. On Sunday evening, Allyn & I headed over to John's place to watch True Detective on HBO. The rain was torrential on the way over. I don't think it's possible for it to rain harder than it did. When we got there, the satellite dish was on the blink because of the heavy rain.
Thunderstorms this morning as well; flash of lightning, clap of thunder; rooster-tails of spray from car tires going through standing water on roadways. Patterns of miniature waves of water as rivulets cross the roads from one side to the other. The humidity causes the salt to clog up in salt shakers, probably my favorite "Other Side of the Creek" observation.

The rain is falling all around
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
Robert Louis Stevenson
