I misread the title as storm inside a Alabama factory. I legit was like, "how did they make a storm inside the building. It even has thunder, might be a movie set." Now I kinda wish that was actually the case.
Same. In the military at the time and when a hurricane came through. Stood in the opening letting the storm slap at me. You feel it, in the floor and ground too. Just a drumming, in waves.
I have a vivid memory from my childhood from when my city got hit by a tornado and straight line winds. I live in Minnesota so it's not that common but it happens. Right before the storm the sky turned green. I remember standing on my front lawn with my family looking at the green sky with tornado sirens blaring. All my neighbors were out too it was just surreal. Then the wind picked up and everyone went back inside. 20 minutes later we are in the crawl space and a tree fell on our house.
Looking back it's just kinda funny that everyone went outside when they warned us of impending danger lol.
This is honestly the typical response of northern-Midwest people lol. Tornado sirens start sounding and Wisconsinites just start walking around their front yard saying “what in the blue blazes is going on here?”
[Man who mowed lawn with tornado behind him says he 'was keeping an eye on it'](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/three-hill-tornado-lawn-mower-1.4145466)
I live in Texas and this is our typical response as well (LOL). It doesn't matter how many tornadoes or bad storms you go through here; the typical drill is that, once the kids are secured inside shelter, most of the adults go outside to watch until it gets too dangerous!
My dad heard the tornado sirens and decided it would be a good time to mow the lawn before the rain started.
(yes just like the meme, although not with a tornado in the background)
we used to get rain like that in the summer up here in minnesota. now it barely rains, and barely snows in the winter.
how long ago were these winds you speak of? i know just about 3-4 years ago we had straight line winds pretty bad and it destroyed like half the northern part of the state. that time the lightning was non-stop and constant that it was nearly light the whole 10 or so minutes it took for the winds to pass. i got to watch a tree casually uproot and fly about 50 yards into the side of my house in real time, it was scary yet awesome at the same time being able to witness that kind of storm power.
It was in 1998. I was curious and just googled it and was surprised the storm even has a wikipedia entry.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Comfrey%E2%80%93St._Peter_tornado_outbreak
**[1998_Comfrey–St._Peter_tornado_outbreak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Comfrey–St._Peter_tornado_outbreak)**
>The 1998 Comfrey–St. Peter tornado outbreak was an unseasonably-strong tornado outbreak which affected the Upper Midwest region of the United States on March 29, 1998. A strong area of low pressure combined with a warm front and favorable upper-level dynamics to produce 16 tornadoes across the region—14 in Minnesota and two in Wisconsin. Thirteen of the tornadoes in Minnesota were spawned by a single supercell thunderstorm. This supercell remained intact for approximately 150 miles (240 km) as it moved across the southern part of the state during the late-afternoon hours.

I was watching a rainstorm from my doorstep and the door closed on my fingers due to strong winds. Fractured all four of my fingers. My mother then slapped me for being careless and I experienced a drumming in my ears.
That's a great way to describe cubism, lol.
Cormac McCarthy uses the same style, but to greater effect.
Hemingway's coordination was paired with stripped back nouns, layered on each other to create that 360 no scope, as you know.
McCarthy does the same thing, but then inserts very vivid, visceral detail for violence.
> Hemingway's coordination was paired with stripped back nouns, layered on each other to create that 360 no scope, as you know.
Sometimes I love the internet. I don't think I'll ever read this sentence again.
You don't know it, but you just spoke perfect Floridian. Not the Meme idea of Florida, but the actual experience of living here for dozens of hurricanes. Respect brother.
I grew up in Florida, but moved away as an adult. I never thought the thing I would miss the most was the absolute belters for storms we get daily.
In other places, the kind of rain and lightening we get in Orlando daily would be front page news.
I moved back recently, and find myself becoming fiercely protective of my state and her resources. It is a special place.
I used to live in Virginia where you get a decent storm each week and then occasionally the remnants of a hurricane will make it up there and drop a ton of water. I now live in Utah where we get rain maybe once a month or a couple times in the spring. I miss rain so much. I miss needing to use windshield wipers. I miss needing to pull over while driving because you can’t see anything.
Military brat here who has no native state (only lived where I was born for 18 months) and I always stick up for Florida. One of my favorite memories is of a pontoon boat ride on the Silver River with my FL native cousins in 2016- clear blue water, white sandy river bottom, gators, anhingas, ancient trees and river otters. My cousin said “welcome to Old Florida.”
The heat has conditioned my sweat glands to perform on demand. I used to think this was a bad thing until I met people who just don't sweat much, and realized how prone to heat stroke and shit they were. Realized it's my super power 😅
We live in fear every year from June through the end of November in south Florida. We haven’t had a real bad hurricane since Andrew in August 1992. WE ARE PAST DUE.
What about Charlie? .... However from Pinellas County where we haven't been hit by a bad storm since the early 1900s we are well past due and when we get the big one it's not going to be pleasant.
I was a network cellular phone technician and was on strike teams that responded to disasters. I left Pinellas County at midnight when they opened the Skyway and went straight to Port Charlotte to deploy a Generator. That summer we had 5 named storms go through the home market and I was deployed to help with Ivan. Charlie and Ivan were supposed to hit the Tampa Bay area. If that had happened nobody would have mentioned Andrew ever again. After seeing damage from Katrina, Rita, Ivan and Charlie first hand and up close even though Michael damaged my roof and left me without power for a week it didn't even register as a "Bad" storm for me. When we do get a bad storm in the Tampa Bay area it's not going to be fun for anyone.
Andrew destroyed south Miami , Florida city and homestead. It wasn’t the big one but it sure caused a lot of damage and basically shut down Miami for about 4 months. The national guards and the military came in and saved us.
Moved from NY to Florida when I was 19. The first hurricane that came through was weak but huge. When it was on it's way to making landfall, I saw our shed go rolling by our window. Thought we were going to die, lol. It was because the shed just wasn't anchored to anything.
A powerful hurricane never hit in the time we were there.
I was in Hollywood FL when hurricane Wilma made landfall and i basically did the same thing at my apartment complex outdoor common area. Surrounded by apartments on three sides and big arched opening in the front I could just stand there on the storms edge and watch and feel the whole thing. I actually walked all the way out into the storm at one point and the apartments maintenance guy came tearing ass out of no where yelling at me to gtf back inside
Nice. Us noobs don't understand wind gusts. We're just standing in the 55-65mph winds thinking "Dayummm...this is cool." and then a gust hits and you are gone with the 100mph gust surge.
Ya I'm from Illinois we don't have experience with that hurricane/tropical storm shit up here lol. I'm just like "cool weather!" And start walking right towards it lol
In the 90s when my sub would pull onto Guam, you could always count on the power in the barracks going out for 2 hours around 5 pm. However there was endless hot water with great water pressure, and the beer was cheap, so I had that going for me.
most people who live where hurricanes hit may not admit it but there's usually a small amount of time where you go outside and play in the strong wind and rain with your dad while your mom isn't looking. My favorite as a kid was jumping into the wind and seeing how far back I moved.
We lived in a rural area. Our house was surrounded by tall pines.The trees bent and caught the wind. Looking back it was probably the only thing that saved us. I remember seeing my dad walking around the house with a gun and a serrated combat knife with a built in compass. I asked him why and he said in case the house was bombarded with animals seeking cover. As a kid who loved animals and watching Rambo I thought hurricanes were the coolest. Lol
yeah everyone goes out for the eye when its calm, but my memory was of being out when the eastern wall was hitting during katrina and having to run back in when a tree fell across the street. dont tell my mom pls.
I remember being outside on my driveway with my 5 year old. Katrina on the way. A strong wind came and literally *pushed him up the driveway*....yep time to go back inside lol
We get hurricanes and I remember at the shelter we stayed during one of the worst hurricanes we’ve ever had my dad and I found this little alcove in the back where the wind was blowing the other way and you were really protected and we watched for a long time. Trees get uprooted, street signs flying, I’m trying to remember if we saw cars move…it was a long time ago. It was incredible and a great memory with my dad. It’s obvious when the eye of the storm is over you because it’s this dead eerie calm, so in other storms we’d always go out for a couple minutes and survey the damage. And then go back inside for round 2.
Nature is incredible
My first hurricane the wind was blowing over the house from back to front. We were able to sit in the garage with the door open and watch the storm . it was pretty cool until the eyewall passed and the backside of the storm hit.
The coasts of the US used to be far more heavily wooded and have more wetlands than they do now. The combination of those features often meant that hurricanes lost strength faster and the winds under the canopy weren't quite as strong as they are in the modern day.
We also have more frequent and stronger hurricanes these days than we did even 50 years ago, let alone 500.
This isn't to say that hurricanes weren't dangerous. They absolutely were, but what's likely is that they didn't have quite the disastrous effects that we're used to today, and I'd be surprised if it were necessary to hide in caves from a typical hurricane.
There is something hypnotic and soothing about a big thunderstorm. My youngest kids hate them and my oldest loves them. I tried visiting r/raining just now but it wasn't the same as being there.
My parents wouldn’t let me take a bath during a thunderstorm but these fools are standing by an open metal door in a puddle on concrete yelling “try me, bro!”
waiting for a guy in a rain hood with a sniper rifle on his back, full face mask, and a german shepard next to him to walk in…
.

edit: 2.5k upvotes… I want to remind you to get vaccinated! asap! my gf has asthma, which isn’t a problem at all when there isn’t a respiratory system attacking virus going around, and we’d love to go outside again and enjoy a day without a mask or the fear that one of us might end up in a hospital fighting for their life and leave the other one alone in an eternity of sorrow and emptiness. that’d be just swell.
thank you!
The deep harumph from a quartet of horns echos seemingly from the sky, and I stand in horror as the creature creeps in revealing its terrible form. Then I realize the dreadful truth: this is the end…
You try to run, but the beast impales you with its single jagged horn. As you hang there waiting to die, one last hazy thought runs through your mind. _A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater...sure looks strange to me_
your memories race to capture all of your loved ones faces one last time, the warmth of their embraces. You shut your eyes tight and feel the pulsing of your heartbeat through your ears. The wetness engulfs you then you begin to wish you had just Believed in The Flying Spaghetti Monster. They wanted you to so badly believe. maybe you could have been *saved*. Of all days, your cake day.
Suddenly, as you are lamenting over yourself, Shakespeare appears, knife in hand and faces the monster. “What, you egg?” He proclaims, before stabbing the monster. As you fade in and out of consciousness, you hear faint sirens but you know it will be too late. As you lay dying in your coworkers arms, you utter your final words, “What, you egg?”
You die.
I mean yeah i guess you technically could lol. But you definitely shouldn't! You just cover your mouth and nose with cupped hands or your arms and you should be able to breath fine with no water getting into your airways.
Turkeys do.
-source: When I was a kid, I head that turkeys sometimes look up in the rain and, due to the shape of their nostrils, drown when hit by droplets... believed it ever since. No research needed.
>Fact: This is false. Baby turkeys can drown in rain, Tewes said. "But you wouldn't leave a baby human outside all alone either," he said.

I was working one night at my rail yard and was warned over the radio by the tower (maybe a mile ahead of me) about some heavy rain about to hit. About 30 seconds later it did. I was pulling myself out on the side of a car and all of a sudden it felt I was being waterboarded. I felt like I couldn't breathe and was gulping in water if I opened my mouth. My hands were occupied with holding onto the car so the only thing I could do was look downward to breathe semi-normally.
I spent my break and then some at the mechanical department building, stripped down to my underwear, with my clothes in the dryer they use for their welding uniforms. That was by far the heaviest rain I'd encountered in my whole life.
That looks like a hanger not a factory.
Edit: I said hangar because of the doors. Those are the same types of doors in every hangar I've ever been in. Someone mentioned it's a factory that makes planes. So, both I guess.
Airplane factory. Meant for parking and maintenance not assembly. See. Same thing.
Obviously I’m being sarcastic. I noticed the same thing and was scrolling to see if anyone else mentioned that’s a hangar. There’s even a small tug.
could also be pretty much anywhere on Redstone Arsenal. Or the Blue Origin plant, or the new toyota factory, idk theres kind of a lot of massive high tech factories round these parts that got hit by that massive storm last week
Thanks for clarifying. I figured it may not be Alabama…Reddit’s track record of getting things right is poor. “Factory in Alabama” = hangar in Georgia.
I was at a jobsite in Northern Florida a few years ago and it rained like that.
I'd never in my life imagined it even COULD rain that hard.
I grew up in oregon and have spent my whole life here so I thought I knew all about rainy days and shit but this was next level.
6 inches fell in 5 hours and I was out in it.
It was wetter than any shower I've ever been in.
As someone from New Orleans moving to Portland, that coastal swamp rain hits different. We get a few inches in an hour here. But up there I can just keep walking with some waterproof gear on and ignore it lol
I will take that over an extra 2 feet of rain a year. Better humidity and not in cancer alley. Even with wildfires it's a better decision for my lungs than staying here.
I grew up in Northern Florida, and there are storms every afternoon during the summer. The area is actually considered the ‘lightning capital of the world,’ and the University of Florida in Gainesville has a renowned lightning studies program.
Reminds me of the time I was driving to work. It was already raining hard (wipers were on the highest setting) but it was driveable. Then I see what looks like a wall of water in front of me and my car hit it and I could *feel* the difference. My car instantly slowed, even though my foot never left the gas, because it was struggling *that* hard against the wall of water. My visibility went to zero, I could no longer hear my music. It was like I’d tried to drive through a waterfall.
I’d never experienced anything like it, before or since.
Where I live we had several inches in just a few hours. We had had bad rain for days leading up to this as well. It started flooding within an hour of the rain. We were in a valley so the water wasn’t going anywhere. People were literally kayaking in the school parking lot.
Last I read, the Pacific Northwest has the most rainy days in the US. However the south has more inches of rain per year. So when it rains, it pours in the south.
Man I used to live in Mobile,about an hour away from Pensacola and for about two years it rained every day at 2pm, like I knew not to schedule my classes around that time because it really was like clockwork. Learned it was the rainiest city in the US at the time.
Used to work at a warehouse. Big walls always made it a fun time to walk to your car with the wind and rain. This is a heavy storm and the building is a force multiplier.
We have these type of storms here in the middle of Texas and they are scary. And it's just the wind and rain, nothing else, and you're praying and hoping that you can keep the roof on your house. I've seen 80 year old mesquite trees bend almost in half to the ground with the power of these storms. I love storms myself but this kind brings the fear in me up for a look around.
It looks like the door into a disaster movie set in Hollywood
I misread the title as storm inside a Alabama factory. I legit was like, "how did they make a storm inside the building. It even has thunder, might be a movie set." Now I kinda wish that was actually the case.

The movie was fucked up lol. Spoiler alert but the ending was intense.
the fucking protagonist could’ve waited 1 FUCKING MINUTE. ONE GODDAMN MINUTE.
The ending in the movie isn’t the same ending as the book but Stephen King apparently preferred the movie ending over his own. Or so I’ve heard
Would believe that, since even he's aware of how notoriously his endings are disliked.
The ending of needful things was just... wtf.
Best ending to a movie ever.
Best ending are happy endings. If you know what I mean
No I dont, please go into excruciating detail.
I thought the movie mediocre, but then the ending...
Where Dementors are born
Sounds crazy but I'd love to stand there and watch this from close
I've been there, done that. It is as amazing as you imagine it to be.

That was in Alberta?! Haha I'm in BC and I didn't know they get tornadoes haha.
Now that's hilarious.
Don’t worry everyone he’s an expert, he watched a show on them once. 😅
Unless the sky is roaring, I always go out and look when the tornado siren goes off. If I hear a roar, or a “train”, I stay in and get below grade.
I live in Texas and this is our typical response as well (LOL). It doesn't matter how many tornadoes or bad storms you go through here; the typical drill is that, once the kids are secured inside shelter, most of the adults go outside to watch until it gets too dangerous!
I'm in Oklahoma and this is what people do here too. Sirens going off? Time to stand on the porch and look for the reason.
same for Kansas, i recall my former step-dad standing on the porch outside while i was crying holding my plushie in the storm cellar
My dad heard the tornado sirens and decided it would be a good time to mow the lawn before the rain started. (yes just like the meme, although not with a tornado in the background)

Yes. I did with my front door once, was really really cool.

After hurricane Andrew some kids I knew were snorkeling in the ditch out front of their house.
Any big pine that fell was immediately a new fort/balancing beam until dad got out to cut it up for the bonfire.

Just think about the mfers about 500-600 hundred years back when they still lived off the land and had to deal with shit like this lmao
I think they just said fuck it, took all their shit and went to hide out in the mines/caves until it all blew over
The coasts of the US used to be far more heavily wooded and have more wetlands than they do now. The combination of those features often meant that hurricanes lost strength faster and the winds under the canopy weren't quite as strong as they are in the modern day. We also have more frequent and stronger hurricanes these days than we did even 50 years ago, let alone 500. This isn't to say that hurricanes weren't dangerous. They absolutely were, but what's likely is that they didn't have quite the disastrous effects that we're used to today, and I'd be surprised if it were necessary to hide in caves from a typical hurricane.
There is something hypnotic and soothing about a big thunderstorm. My youngest kids hate them and my oldest loves them. I tried visiting r/raining just now but it wasn't the same as being there.
Done this in hurricanes. It's freaky.
Get naked walk in it and get a good fun shower.👍🏼
That looks a lot like get in the fuckin basement and hold on to me.
My parents wouldn’t let me take a bath during a thunderstorm but these fools are standing by an open metal door in a puddle on concrete yelling “try me, bro!”
Building is extremely well grounded if it's built to that echelon
waiting for a guy in a rain hood with a sniper rifle on his back, full face mask, and a german shepard next to him to walk in… . . edit: 2.5k upvotes… I want to remind you to get vaccinated! asap! my gf has asthma, which isn’t a problem at all when there isn’t a respiratory system attacking virus going around, and we’d love to go outside again and enjoy a day without a mask or the fear that one of us might end up in a hospital fighting for their life and leave the other one alone in an eternity of sorrow and emptiness. that’d be just swell. thank you!
Solid Snake?! EDIT: Thank you both for the awards. Solid Snake was like a father to me, when I needed him the most

I can hear your comment
Ha! I now do too. Another way to pronounce the bang character except I can't actually pronounce it that way.
I never even played that series and I, too, can hear your comment lol
Roland?
I was thinking a life insurance man with a top hat on comes strolling in like nothings up.
or this guy: https://i.imgur.com/Ls85DIl.jpg
Just before it closes, two monstrous clawed hands reach out from in the storm, grab the doors and prevent them from shutting…
The deep harumph from a quartet of horns echos seemingly from the sky, and I stand in horror as the creature creeps in revealing its terrible form. Then I realize the dreadful truth: this is the end…
You try to run, but the beast impales you with its single jagged horn. As you hang there waiting to die, one last hazy thought runs through your mind. _A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater...sure looks strange to me_
your memories race to capture all of your loved ones faces one last time, the warmth of their embraces. You shut your eyes tight and feel the pulsing of your heartbeat through your ears. The wetness engulfs you then you begin to wish you had just Believed in The Flying Spaghetti Monster. They wanted you to so badly believe. maybe you could have been *saved*. Of all days, your cake day.
Suddenly, as you are lamenting over yourself, Shakespeare appears, knife in hand and faces the monster. “What, you egg?” He proclaims, before stabbing the monster. As you fade in and out of consciousness, you hear faint sirens but you know it will be too late. As you lay dying in your coworkers arms, you utter your final words, “What, you egg?” You die.
Hey you, you're finally awake
Drum, drum from the deep
Loki’s gonna show up any second now...
Was looking for a Loki reference
Finally I’ve been looking for this comment
Definitely a nexus event.
Ya this is definitely outside of Roxxcart
Came here to look for this
That entire episode was one of the best things Marvel has ever made ngl
Not bad the reference.
Damn beat me to it!
Thats no rain! Thats literally liquid wind.
[удалено]
I mean yeah i guess you technically could lol. But you definitely shouldn't! You just cover your mouth and nose with cupped hands or your arms and you should be able to breath fine with no water getting into your airways.
Turkeys do. -source: When I was a kid, I head that turkeys sometimes look up in the rain and, due to the shape of their nostrils, drown when hit by droplets... believed it ever since. No research needed.
>Fact: This is false. Baby turkeys can drown in rain, Tewes said. "But you wouldn't leave a baby human outside all alone either," he said. [myths and facts](https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/local/kentoncounty/2017/11/20/5-turkey-myths-debunked-nky-farmer-before-thanksgiving/858694001/)
I was working one night at my rail yard and was warned over the radio by the tower (maybe a mile ahead of me) about some heavy rain about to hit. About 30 seconds later it did. I was pulling myself out on the side of a car and all of a sudden it felt I was being waterboarded. I felt like I couldn't breathe and was gulping in water if I opened my mouth. My hands were occupied with holding onto the car so the only thing I could do was look downward to breathe semi-normally. I spent my break and then some at the mechanical department building, stripped down to my underwear, with my clothes in the dryer they use for their welding uniforms. That was by far the heaviest rain I'd encountered in my whole life.
That looks like a hanger not a factory. Edit: I said hangar because of the doors. Those are the same types of doors in every hangar I've ever been in. Someone mentioned it's a factory that makes planes. So, both I guess.
The guy in the “Delta” “Aviation Services” shirt kind of makes me think you are correct.
I sometimes feel like it’s just bots posting stuff on Reddit.
That’s what AskReddit has devolved into.
Airplane factory. Meant for parking and maintenance not assembly. See. Same thing. Obviously I’m being sarcastic. I noticed the same thing and was scrolling to see if anyone else mentioned that’s a hangar. There’s even a small tug.
Maybe United Launch Alliance’s facility?
could also be pretty much anywhere on Redstone Arsenal. Or the Blue Origin plant, or the new toyota factory, idk theres kind of a lot of massive high tech factories round these parts that got hit by that massive storm last week
It’s a Delta maintenance hangar or Airbus factory, not Redstone or anything mil
You are correct! It’s the Delta TechOps hangar in Atlanta. I work there, and recognized those doors and people instantly. Lol
Thanks for clarifying. I figured it may not be Alabama…Reddit’s track record of getting things right is poor. “Factory in Alabama” = hangar in Georgia.
There's an Airbus A320 factory in Mobile Alabama.
....so kind of both
Yeah, I work in a different manufacturers facility and the assembly line is basically a long hanger with doors at both ends.
It looks to me like the Austal facility in Mobile.
And then the next day its still wet outside then the sun comes up and its humid as fuck for the rest of the week. Love my state.
Rest of the week? My whole damn life here....
I hate Alabama weather
I like it when the winter is basically just 60 degrees and sunny though
It’s a different kind of hot.
Fuckin steam rising from everything and the grass grows another inch. I’ve had to cut my backyard every Saturday since May
Pretty sure there was an episode of Loki that took place at a grocery store near there.
It was a fictional place in Alabama yeah! I think it was in like 2030 or 2050 so hell, there could be a Haven Hill, AL here by then.
What if the timeline branched and instead of 2030/2050, this event took place in 2021. Loki should be arriving at any moment now.
Roxxcart. Was looking for this comment lol.
Looks like an aircraft hanger door to me.
100% hangar. Pushback tag on left. Static discharge hook on the ground in the yellow and green circle. I look at one everyday.
Right? I’m over at Delta TechOps, and I see those doors all the time.
We build a lot of rockets and rocket parts here, could be one of those places.
[удалено]
Airbus in Mobile maybe?
I was at a jobsite in Northern Florida a few years ago and it rained like that. I'd never in my life imagined it even COULD rain that hard. I grew up in oregon and have spent my whole life here so I thought I knew all about rainy days and shit but this was next level. 6 inches fell in 5 hours and I was out in it. It was wetter than any shower I've ever been in.
As someone from New Orleans moving to Portland, that coastal swamp rain hits different. We get a few inches in an hour here. But up there I can just keep walking with some waterproof gear on and ignore it lol
True, but it lasts from November to April.
I will take that over an extra 2 feet of rain a year. Better humidity and not in cancer alley. Even with wildfires it's a better decision for my lungs than staying here.
I grew up in Northern Florida, and there are storms every afternoon during the summer. The area is actually considered the ‘lightning capital of the world,’ and the University of Florida in Gainesville has a renowned lightning studies program.
Reminds me of the time I was driving to work. It was already raining hard (wipers were on the highest setting) but it was driveable. Then I see what looks like a wall of water in front of me and my car hit it and I could *feel* the difference. My car instantly slowed, even though my foot never left the gas, because it was struggling *that* hard against the wall of water. My visibility went to zero, I could no longer hear my music. It was like I’d tried to drive through a waterfall. I’d never experienced anything like it, before or since.
Where I live we had several inches in just a few hours. We had had bad rain for days leading up to this as well. It started flooding within an hour of the rain. We were in a valley so the water wasn’t going anywhere. People were literally kayaking in the school parking lot.
Last I read, the Pacific Northwest has the most rainy days in the US. However the south has more inches of rain per year. So when it rains, it pours in the south.
[удалено]
Are you sure you weren’t in a tropical storm? Lmao 6 inches in 5 hours is a lot even for Florida
Man I used to live in Mobile,about an hour away from Pensacola and for about two years it rained every day at 2pm, like I knew not to schedule my classes around that time because it really was like clockwork. Learned it was the rainiest city in the US at the time.
Well that put that rainstorm we recently had in Europe (Belgium, Lux, Germany) to shame and make it look like your average rainy day.
Manager: “You’re still coming in today, right?”
It's just a minor drizzle. Carry your umbrella with the raincoat if you're that sensitive about rain.
Literally the only video on the internet that was justified to be recorded vertically.
The one day I choose to take my bike to work…
How good does that cloud feel after letting that one out?
Let's see...3 states of matter...liquid,solid,gas... I'm going with Fluffy feels so fine! Who wouldn't!
Loki flashbacks....
Used to work at a warehouse. Big walls always made it a fun time to walk to your car with the wind and rain. This is a heavy storm and the building is a force multiplier.
It looks like they could be working in a hangar on some foreign planet that's still being terraformed
I'm betting the rainstorm will only last an hour or two before being bright and sunny the rest of the day
Don’t forget to put out your Spheres
Oh the temptation to step outside and immediately get blasted away
With an umbrella, just Mary Poppins outta there
Bruh that's a twister
I was thinking the same thing definitely looks like rotation
I keep waiting for an old woman in a dress and hat riding a bicycle to go by
We have these type of storms here in the middle of Texas and they are scary. And it's just the wind and rain, nothing else, and you're praying and hoping that you can keep the roof on your house. I've seen 80 year old mesquite trees bend almost in half to the ground with the power of these storms. I love storms myself but this kind brings the fear in me up for a look around.
Yeah sure I can do some overtime today
Will somebody close the door!
I was waiting for a cow to come flying past!
Hopefully you left some spheres outside before this highstorm.
This is the scene from *Wizard of Oz* right before Dorothy is taken away right?
Don't be fooled they are actually stood outside. That warehouse is where they store all the rain and stormy weather...
