Downpour, Imus
It went really dark just an hour past noon, then it started pouring. The rain started with small sprinkles until it drop so strong that it created some mini flood that yes, the kids did enjoy. Taken this afternoon by my college pal and one of my blog's kind correspondents in this Quarantine times, Zarah, she also added that after a few minutes, patrolers went inside their subdivision and the kids went all running back home! With almost every place cemented with concrete, a brief but strong downpour can really flood certain areas in the province, something that rarely happens before when the earth's pores can still breathe without these solid 'foundations'.

When I lived in Los Angeles we didn't get much rain, but when we did it tended to be of the downpour variety. I hated to be driving on the freeway when it happened. Here in the Pacific Northwest it rains alot. That's why we are so green. But the rain tends to be more gentle, the kind you can go out without an umbrella and not get soaked. - Margy
ReplyDeleteOh that was scary, especially during long drives. Glad it was the heat of summer when we drove from LA to San Francisco a few years ago. Love your spot on the pacific northwest. The evergreen trees made me so happy like I was on a different world when my friend drove me from the airport to Mill Creek, WA :) Thanks dear Margy!
DeleteA nice capture of the downpour. It must of felt great especially in the heat.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, my friend.
Super true Bill! It was a big delight for all of us humans, pets, and especially the plants and crops! It's been raining for at a good half an hour lately every afternoon and it's what we need :)
DeleteHave a great Friday ahead my friend Bill!
...we need rain! I started to sprinkle an hour ago and now the sun is shining. Rain after a dry period is a welcomed gift, take care!
ReplyDeleteOh i wish the rain would visit you again Tom! It's been very hot here in the past months but these past couple of week, it rains every other day which is a very big blessing :)
DeleteI can feel the rain!
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! And it's a very big blessing for a very hot summer Carol :) Hope your weather is getting good there :)
DeleteThose kids look like they are enjoying it. I like the photo!
ReplyDeletethey really were before the patrollers came haha Thanks my friend :)
DeleteThis is the kind of rain I like, when it stays hot. Here in the mountains it is an event, by 2-3 days of dropping about 10 degrees in temperatures (which I very much dislike). On the day of the rain, it can be a gentle rain or a downpour. But often its a few hours to a day. The next day (s) the temp. goes up again. Thank you for your ever complimenting way of commenting (the Blue and Red Perspective(.
ReplyDeleteApropos I linked to Timeless Thursdays, but I will later or tomorrow read your post:)
Thank you very much Jesh :) It was my pleasure to see your beautiful works of art that I very much appreciate! Rain really is a very big blessing especially on very hot months like April to June. We always pray for it every year :)
DeleteOh my gosh, the downpour. It should feel great, especially in the heat ... and it smells so good too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, Steven!
We are the same !I love the smell of the rain too Ella! Well except when the dust particles started evaporating HAHA But when it's over fresh grass, love it! Thank you so much dear Ella!
DeleteKids love playing in the rain, a great shot.
ReplyDeleteThey really do Karen (I actually do to even until now from time to time HAHA) Have a great day Karen!
DeleteMy sentiments too ~ when I look at the photo I can feel the rain ~ sweet capture ~ ^_^

Thank you so much dear Carol! There's something about it that is so drawing :) Hope the rain visits us again later and make us all happy :)
DeleteI love walking while it rains. I just did that this morning. It gives me a sense of relief.
ReplyDeleteKayni! I will do that when it rains again this afternoon. I may not be able to go outside but luckily we have an open driveway and I'll do that :) Thank you so much ;)
DeleteGood capture.
ReplyDeleteHappy Skywatch Jim!
DeleteWe have been having those downpours almost every day...then the sun comes back out an it is hot and muggy. But we the water does soak into the ground.
ReplyDeleteRose the very same here! It darkens at post-noon and will rain then after an hour, the sun comes out again drying everything up :) (At least we did escape the harsh noontime sun for an hour)
DeleteWow. I can tell that is a lot of rain. Look at the level of water on the road. That is a great photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is true Erika. knowing that it was just less than an hour haha
DeleteIt's a great photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Joyful :) Happy Weekend!
DeleteWow. We wait for rain since weeks and weeks and you get all too much. Crazy weather, Stevenson! Hope there was no damage, I sure know how a flooded apartment stinks! Ingo had that twice, I still have the muddy smell in my "nose"/brain.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much Iris and yes, there was no damage thanks be to God. it was just a brief but very strong downpour :) It dried after when the sun came out :)
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteSometimes getting caught in the rain feels good, without the lightning of course.
Great street scene! Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend!
Yes Eileen! I love when that happens too if Im on the way home hahaha Happy Weekend!
DeleteI like your photo.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe.
Thank you so much Elisabete :) Stay safe too :)
DeleteThe downpour has also come our way daily now for the past two days. Some areas flooded badly.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Flood is never ever good. Please be safe dear Lili!
DeleteIt looks like we may get your weather today. We did have a fast and furious downpour yesterday (fortunately, not in my basement!) And it has just started again. It's hard to believe that at this time yesterday it was very sunny and warm and now it's very dark and cool wind! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeletethe weather lately is very crazy for all of us dear Jeanie right! I hope it won't be too strong so to keep everything dry there.
DeleteGosh it's raining all over the world it seems SQ. It is so nice after the heat, but I can see how a downpour could be a problem if there isn't enough free ground are to absorb it, although there must be drainage points surely. I love that children always find the fun things to do in most situations 😊 Happy weekend ✨
ReplyDeleteAnd at the moment I published your comment Grace, It rained again super hard outside. Glad I did not water the plants earlier because it would have been a waste. Now I just wanna be a kid again without any worries! Happy Weekend dear Grace!
DeleteWow that is some rain! We sometimes get heavy rain like this during winter, in Scotland!!!
ReplyDeleteToday has been very warm here and the Scottish aren't used to such high temperatures!
Hello Ananka! Oh I have read that the British Isles receive around almost 200 days of rain a year! That is crazy. Now I realize it more when you said that the Scottish are not used to warmer weather. Happy Weekend Ananka!
Deleteoh la-la, that is pouring. with lot of concrete, no wonder earth cannot absorbe.
