Utah Morning Monsoon 2
As with a few days ago, I again encountered a Utah Monsoon on the way to work. When I left for work it was dry and windy, but on the way it soon started sprinkling. After a few minutes, I suddenly reached a point where it was raining so hard that the water couldn’t run off fast enough, and was pooling on the freeway. It was fun to drive through – a bit of hydroplaning, lots of splashing, kind of like driving through a large puddle. Then it was suddenly no longer raining.
Utah Morning Monsoon
This morning I drove through another of the Utah Monsoons. When I left for work it was dry and windy, but on the way it soon started sprinkling. After a few minutes, I suddenly reached a point where it was raining so hard that the water couldn’t run off fast enough, and was pooling on the freeway. The continuing rain was visibly splashing into this standing water.
Additionally, There were a few cool moments of lightning that were caught on the cam, and I threw those at the beginning.
Utah Monsoon Driving
This afternoon I drove through one of the Utah Monsoons that have caused so much flooding over the past few days. I was just driving along under the clouds, when it started sprinkling. Then, after a moment or two, it was suddenly raining hard enough that the water on the freeway couldn’t run off fast enough, and we were in danger of hydroplaning. After a minute or so of heavy rain, it stopped as suddenly as it’d started, and then cleared up rapidly.
Almost Missed His Exit
While driving today, an SUV had been traveling in the far left lane when he suddenly realized that he needed to get off at the exit we were passing. So he hopped across two lanes and barely made the exit.
