That is really something! I'm definitely going to remember this
forever... it was way cool. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Barbara Otterson wrote: On Mon, 17 May 2004 17:07:18 -0700, Kalera Stratton wrote: I heard a sound like someone had opened a fire hydrant on the street. I jumped up and looked outside... the sky had opened up and was dumping water on the street in sheets! The drops were tablespoon-size, at least! The wierd thing, totally amusingly bizzarre, is that the rain STOPS AT THE STREET. OK, not *quite* the street... it comes all the way up to my front steps, and that's it. Sitting where I am, looking out the side and the back windows all the way around the house, you can't tell it's raining at all. I remember the first time I saw something like this. I was visiting my grandparents in Utah and it started raining. But only on the other side of the street. The neighbors had rivers running down their driveway. My grandparents had to water their garden. Back there and then they called the phenomena "the Devil beating his wife". (I don't know why). It was fascinating to watch. I've seen thunderstorms move across an area--that sheet of water coming toward you, etc., but that was the first time I'd seen a prolonged rain in one area while a few feet away remained totally dry.

I never took advantage of all the cool things growing up. It's funny how
you take things for granted. I would give anything to be living on the farm right now. I miss home more and more these days. -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... Also, more watermelons and canataloupes. I am a total melon whore! -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay starlia wrote: Yummy fresh peanuts too! I liked the watermelon and cataloes fields better though. More wildlife out there. "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... I'd say that peanut patch must have had some powerful magic! -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay starlia wrote: I was always amazed growing up that our peanut patch (about 100 acres) across the road from our house would get rain and we had sunshine. My grandparents always laughed at me when it happened because I would watch from the first raindrop until it stopped or moved on. |
