Torrential downpour all the way through downtown.

Dang, that's a downpour. I haven't dealt with hydroplaning since my trip to Zdayz 2 years ago, and frankly i don't miss it.

Why you complaining. Be thankful that you're not in Mexico. The one city got 6 FEET of hail in one hour.

Seen the video of the semi driving through a river of hail.
