Nice set that you've compiled. I ought to take some photos as well.

I like the photo of a photographer taking a photo of the stranded car.

[arselicker]

thanks. and i like the way three morons got themselves stranded at the same area at different times. why drive under a bridge with a sign warning you of flood levels? silly fools.

[astrangelove]

Ahaha, yeh, it's all about living dangerously (*cough, foolishly) these days.

Then again, who could resist driving through a huge puddle to see the splashes that would occur?

[arselicker]

i guess. my brother stripped down to his jocks and danced around in puddles yesterday. granted he's six, but still.

one must weigh up the worth of their car/insurance and consider driving at sea level, not below it.

the last two photos are beautiful. the one before last one more so.

[arselicker]

thankyou. during the downpour it was rather difficult to jump from the grass to the front step without slipping over and copping an ass full of water.

That's not a hailstone is it?

[socraticomatic]

I reckon it's fake. It looks like a composite, ie., someone got a lot of reasonable-sized hailstones and clumped them together in a ball, like a snowball. On the other hand, maybe they never meant for it to be interpreted as anything but that.

[tortoises]

Yeah, that's what I suspected... though it didn't hail where I was. *disappointed*

[arselicker]

Once a hailstone becomes too heavy to be supported by the storm's updraft it falls out of the cloud. When a hailstone is cut in half, a series of concentric rings, like that of an onion, is revealed. These rings reveal the total number of times the hailstone had traveled to the top of the storm before falling to the ground.

Nice combo of photos!
