We attended the race last year but decided to take a pass this year.
Good thing we did!
The race started at 1:45 and had about 1/2 hour rain delay from 2:30 to 3. It didn't look too bad on tv.
Well, we found out differently!
About 1/2 hour after the race resumed, the storm hit our house!
There was actually Thunder!
DW took the following picture thinking we'd only get a few sprinkles but it was pretty exciting! We don't remember the last time we had rain fall!
Well, the sky opened and in just a few short minutes, there was actually hail! DW had been upstairs checking to make sure the rain wasn't coming in the windows we had opened when she noticed hail on the neighbors roof! She high-tailed it downstairs, yelling "it's hailing!" and grabbed the camera to get the following picture. This is a rug that is just outside our back door under the patio overhang.
Meanwhile, the rain poured down!
After the rain had stopped, DW stepped out the front door and surveyed the clouds. She took the following pictures and only after about 30 seconds outside, there was a lightning strike too close for comfort! DW ran back inside and slammed the front door! And yelled "Holy S%#$, Holy $%^%!"
But she managed to snap the following pictures showing the storm as it passed us.
It had been cloudy most of today. We're so used to it being sunny everyday that when it's cloudy, it's just weird. But we manage!
We hope everyone is keeping safe and warm in Minnesota!

Oh wow, what a showing! I woke up this morning to cloudy skies (and was very pleased by this, haha) and was thinking how Phoenix RARELY gets rain and here your post is proving me wrong, lol.
