So, I went with some friends to Yorktown today from the Richmond area. We just got to Yorktown and parked in a parking garage at the beach area. No sooner do we walk out to the boardwalk area and it starts to rain. We got some drinks and waited for a bit and it passed over. Made it all the way back to Hopewell without getting rained on and then.....OMFG!!!! The heavens just opened up and there were bolts of lightning all over with thick sheets of water running across the roads. I was laughing so hard in disbelief because don't think I've seen it rain like that since living in Florida. I just hunched over the tank and plowed through it. Passed people pulled off to the side (made me laugh even harder ). Had some kind of long sleeve shirt that acted like a damn sponge. I'll swear that shirt weighed 10 pounds when I eventually took it off. Felt the water pool up in my shoes and every, ahem, uncomfortable area. Did I mention there was no forecast for rain? Anyways, it was a hoot. +1 for experience for sure.
