Today when I took the dogs out at 7:00 AM the sky and the light were both an ugly bruise/mustard/wrath of God yellow. At 7;30 it started blowing, raining, hailing and flooding. Between 7:30 and 10:30 we got five inches of rain, and the water in the street was halfway up the driveway and fountaining out of the man holes.

I was happily seated on my indoor trainer, doing steady heart rate intervals in z2-4. Did an hour and a half.

While Texas is still in a drought and we do need rain, this was too much, too fast. But it was interesting to watch the storm while I was riding. The dogs were distinctly not amused as there was nothing in the trainer room to hide behind, or under so they sat curled around themselves at either side, whimpering and trembling.

Interesting times.
