An Adventure I wasn't Expecting

Today I was riding my mountain bike high up on a trail when I heard lightning behind me. I turned and noticed down in the city the sky was covered with some very dark clouds. I immediately started making my way back down the mountain. Well, I didn’t get very far when it started to sprinkle, then it started to rain, then I was in the middle of a downpour and I was being pelted with hail.

At that point in time, I thought to myself, this sucks! I took cover in the doorway of a local church, while observing a small river form on the road in front of me. I watched as beautifully manicured yards were washed away and a million dollar home was completely flooded.

The following pictures are what I saw after the storm. When I peddled my bike through two feet of water, as my teeth were chattering, and all I could think about was a warm shower at the end of my long ride!
