Holy Rainfall, Batman!
It rained so hard and fast that a flood formed outside my job's main gate right at quittin' time today. My coworkers and I watched from the safety of our 5th floor window as cars courageously (or stupidly) pushed through the foot of rain. Accidents were missed by a hair and four cars stalled out. One car actually floated backwards. Scary stuff! The torrent continued for what seemed like forever but finally stopped around 6:30. My job offered us rides to our cars because it wasn't possible to walk to the parking lot. There were a fearless few that waded through the water; I was not one of them. I say, "Don't mess with nature, she will win every time."

My favorite stupid driver moment: In San Antonio they have flood meters on the side of the road. Giant ruler looking things. 1....2...3...4....5.... Well, all these cars are stopped on the side of the road, because there is water rushing past at a dip in the road ahead, and it is at the 2 mark. This woman slows down, looks, and then floors it. SMASH, right into the flood, and the thing starts carrying her car off. Luckily, she is able to get out of the car with some help. Her comment: "Oh, I thought it was 2 INCHES...."
LMAO! Classic!
