We had a little flood this afternoon. An innocent looking little cloud dumped 1 inch of rain in about 20 minutes with winds that had to be around 70 mph. Rick was stuck over at the neighbors' for a while, and Minx and I spent a short time in the storm shelter when it appeared that the large shop door might blow in! I sent this first picture in to channel 11 as a weather digipic, and they used it twice on the 10pm news tonight.

As the storm moved away it looked quite harmless again.

Minx is exhausted after the ordeal.
