OMG - where's my ark?

So this just happened over the last hour or so. There was only a 20% chance of rain today. It started raining, got harder, hailed, rained, rained, rained, and eventually flooded out the huge intersection in front of our store. Gorgeous double rainbow, the brightest main rainbow I've ever seen, all the way across the sky. Crazy, crazy hour of weather.

That little tree across the street? It's about 5 feet from the street curb.
The water has risen all the way past it.
Same on this side - water clear up to our parking lot.

About 12" of water in the middle of the street.

The curb and street is about 10 feet further out.
Under all the water is a sidewalk and 5 more feet of grass.

In my car about to turn left, away from the worst of the flooding.

This is a normal intersection most of the time.
Today it's a lake.

Super bright rainbow.

I love how it says Hot for the two days that are over 100, but just Sunny for the days in the 90s. And the blazing orange icon. They want you to understand that they mean it when they say it's gonna be hot. Not just warm, like 95.
No, it's going to be HOT!

Here's what the dog does on a hot, lazy afternoon. Just ignore DH's hairy legs. He was asleep, too, in the recliner, with the TV droning away. Maggie hates having the camera pointed at her, and is trying hard to pretend I'm not there.

be careful what you wish for...

Remember how I was moaning back on June 4th - a whole two weeks ago - about it still being so chilly and gray?

Remember???

Well, just look at next Tuesday.

June 4th... sort of

The calendar says so, but I think we've been transported back to March.
Or maybe Idaho.
Certainly not northern California on June 4th.
