A few drops

This is the result of a few sparse showers that may have fallen in my community. It rained torrentially for about 5 to 10 minutes. I have no idea how many liters per square meter fell, but the water reached halfway to the step of the front door. Those of you who know my neighbouthood you know of the houses down from me. There was almost a meter high of water flooding the garages there. The firemen finally left at around 10pm, after spending hours baleing water out.

As you can see, in my garage, the flooding was less important, and, thanks to the pumps we're supposed to have, it didn't go over 7 or 8cm deep.

Thank God for the weathermen who always warn us of these contingencies... or not...
