Weird Weather

Having really weird weather around here. I went into Denver the other day and on the way back got stopped by severe heavy rain. The rain was so heavy I could not see past the front end of my hood. I was on the interstate freeway. And everyone else around me had to stop also. I couldn't see the tail lights of the car in front me. I sat there in the highway for 10 to 15 minutes for the storm to pass. As it passed golf ball sized hail started falling. The sound was deafening as it hit the roof and hood. I was afraid it was going to crack my windshield more than anything. Luckily it didn't.

When the hail ended and the rain past everyone else plus me on the four-lane interstate highway started looking at all the other drivers and started the slow progress forward we were all going around 25mph max. The rain and hail flooded the highway with water. Since there is a huge concrete median separating the north and south bound lanes there is no where for the water to drain to. So the four lanes going north dropped down to two lanes trying to avoid driving close to median where the majority of the water is pooling.

Weird weather this is at least the fourth time within two weeks in and around the Denver area -- there has been this sort of heavy rain mixed with golf ball and sometimes bigger sized hail. This is the first time I got into it. I'm lucky I was driving my jeep it's older and all steel/chrome/metal. Not like some of the other vehicles. They showed a lot of damage from the hail. I checked out mine, and luckily no dents and no cracks in the windshield.
