I was just about to set off for work, and the heavens opened up.
I don't like driving when the rain is this heavy, because I prefer to be cautious, and other drivers (who are either braver or more stupid) tend to get annoyed.
The visibility was way down, and I expected the thunder to start at any time, but it didn't.
I guess I will wait a few minutes, it will soon clear, or maybe we will all get washed away!
