Well that got a bit intense. The rain got so heavy traffic slowed down to about walking speed and multiple people decided to just pull over and wait instead. I got totally drenched running the 5m from my car to my front door. I've changed into dry clothes and Miss Meow is now ensconsed on my lap purring. Mr Woof has forgiven me for the lack of a walk and is also on the couch for moral support.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the heaviest rain will have mostly cleared by 7am, when I need to walk to the carshare and then drive to work...
The rain intensified while we were already enroute thankfully. Wife was enjoying her time listening to the rain and cheering on the cars ahead of us as we all queued up to drive through a puddle at 25kmh lol.
