The truck on the left doesn't seem to be hurting......
It happens like that in a low spot when the sheer sudden volume of rain is such that the storm sewers can't handle it all, When it stops raining, a couple of hours and it's all gone.....

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, for sure!
true...shows what the parking lot is like...dips and valleys and hills and slops that we normally wouldn't notice. I wouldn't have been real keen about making my way to the car though
On my way to Tottenham with my fifth wheel a couple of years ago, going through Barrie, The rain was so bad, that I couldn't see, so I stopped right on the 400 and saw that a tractor trailer stopped right behind me (so I was safe from being rear ended which was my worry when I stopped) Heard later on the news that parts of Barrie were flooded bad....
When I got going 20 min. later, I figured that the ground in the park I was going to "Tottenham Conservation area" would be too wet for me to park in until the next day.......Imagine my surprise when I got there, just 30-40 miles away.....the ground was bone dry, not a drop of rain.......

yeah isn't that freaky? or it's sunny and ya turn a corner and there are puddles
As I think of it, I had mistaken the car for another one that was also at Fairview. I had seen the other picture on the CBC K-W FB page. Whoops! My mistake.
BTW, just got home from the game. Northmen lost 12-8 to Burlington tonight and I was having issues getting the Internet to work to go on Pointstreak. I had to do a system restore and upload the whole gamesheet at home. Oh well, I got the game up online. It was a brutal game. At least my brother won tonight with the squad that he is coaching. And the K-W Braves won over Brampton...but I can't cheer for them. Never!
A prairie style storm. Just add hail and 100km/h winds and it's par.
Nothing beats negative ion charged rainwater to make things grow though. Those big drops are charged up but good and the ozone
by-product is refreshing and cleansing.
If you're stuck without rubber boots, those pleasant thoughts go by the wayside.
Climate change is turning the much maligned Ontario Clay belt into Canada's new breadbasket. Provided you don't mind occasionally combining your wet season barley and oats with Florida Everglades air boats.
Actually, if the US West keeps drying out, youmay be the new 'cattle frontier'..
Now if only Ontario 'Drovers'" could learn a little 'style'..

Nothing, Petros, says 'ugly' faster than an Ontario claybelt stockman trying to ward off Blackflies..
