Caught in the rain

It finally happened. I knew it would, it was just a matter of time. I went out to pick up a few things at the grocery store and when I got out, a downpour was occurring. I waited a little, hoping the rain would stop and it didn't. I waited a little longer and it seemed to let up. So, I made my way home. It was a short distance, but the road didn't drain well and there were deep puddles everywhere. I tried to stay on the high road and was mostly successful. This incident makes it even more imperative that rain gear is obtained. As I proceeded home, the rain worsened. Hail might have even been involved; it was hard to tell as the velocity was high. Lightning was striking in the distance and the wind was increasing rapidly. These symptoms sometimes suggest tornado. This didn't occur today, thankfully, but the threat made the bike go faster. Arriving at home, soaking wet, but safe, was a good sight. The rain gear hasn't been decide upon, yet. Stay tuned...
