On my trip to work today, I went through a weather experience unlike anything I have ever seen before... I am sure we have all been through sudden squalls and driven through the edge of a storm, but let me explain this one...
I drive about 7 miles from home to the office, across a bridge that crosses Clear Lake, which is a tributary of sorts off of Galveston Bay.
The drive from home started out typical end of May, hot, humid, and partly cloudy. Just light fluffy stuff, like high fog, nothing likely to cause rain, until I got to the bridge,
There was ONE cloud, and not a particularly big one, that was dead black, and dumping rain, intensely, directly over the bridge. The rain started and ended at the respective ends of the bridge, almost like the highway department was trying to water down this one bridge and nothing else...
Anyone have any idea how this could take place? The difference between clouds right up against each other was extreme, it was like this 200yd diameter spot of intensity. Just so strange...
