waterwall
I was driving home this evening, and happened upon a very cool thing.
It had been cloudy all day, with rain predicted for this evening. Sure enough, as I headed north on my way home, I could see the clouds getting thicker and darker all around me. I glanced west, and saw that some clouds were already raining down upon the land-- you could see the rain in the air as a delicate grey mist. It was still dry where I was driving, until I looked a short distance up the road.
I could see where the dry road ended, and the wet road began. At this same terminus, I saw IT.
The wall of rain-- the edge of the shower.
Something that you know exists, but rarely see. And I was speeding towards it with my window wide open. I quickly flicked the button to roll it up, but I wasn't fast enough-- I sped into the rain and the huge drops quickly soaked my car. A few managed to splatter me just as the window finished closing.
One second, dry. Another second later, wet. Very cool.

ever wonder why you can spell "the awe" from the word weather?

Wow, AMD, that's very clever.
