ever got caught in a down pour?

[blueangel06661]

Okay. Well it rained today. and while leaving 1st pd. to go to 2ed pd. i had to walk outside to get to the class. and the minute i stepped out of the school it was puring down rain. not sprinkling. not a light rain. just plain out POURING! so by time i got to class i was completely soaked from head to toe. it looked like i just got out of a bath with my clothes on. then about 5 other kids came in soaked. then it stopped by time the rest of the kids made it. lame i know. My math book got wet [second year in a row] and my desk had a huge puddle on it from where i sat my bookbag down. so everyone was complaining about it. and the teacher said she was sorry she didnt have a walkway to her room, the school board said "oh they can just enter from the auditorium" but that day there was an assembly in there so we couldn't do that. and after i sorta dried off my hair got really frizzy and i couldn't fix it. so that was embarrassing.


then it poured again as i got off the bus. =\ i had rain issues today.. sorry. but i just had to tell =[

Someone will shortly be here to tell you your entire post belongs in a journal and this is illegal BBS activity.

[blueangel06661]

wheres that.. and whats a BBS?

[Drunk_Squid]

Bulletin Board System. It is the term I use to describe message boards, forums, ect. Either that or just forums.

Anywho, yeah the rain sucks. I wish there was a lot more of it where I lived however.

It could be a journal entry, but it would also be a topic on sharing our crappy rain experiences.

When I visited my gf in Texas for the first time it would not stop pouring. So like...we had to stay inside for almost the entire time, couldn't even go to the hotel room I paid HUNDREDS of dollars for! We only spend 1 of the 3 nights I paid for. Rip off...stupid Texas weather...

Yes, I was outside with my Gym class( and a really hot guy!!!) for a fire drill and it started pouring!!! all the girls were screaming and stuff.The next day, we didn't have to dress for gym!!

Well none of you come from the UK then - rain is very common here and there has been many a time that I've been soaked in it,
One memorable time I was in a field on a Geography trip and we were coring the peat; so high up in the air we were driving a long metal rode into the ground and bringing it up again to get the peat - when what should happed but a little rain - nothing to worry about - until the thunder starts - now were in an open field all holding a long metal rod in a thunder storm . . . . we finished fast!

Personally, I love getting cought in the rain. In fact sometimes when I rains, I go outside just for that to take a nice walk in the rain... while the neighbors give me strange looks ^.^

Hm.. as for bad experiences with rain, I can remember one that sucked pretty bad -.-
Me and 2 guys in my class were assigned to be the "Flag kids" No, not twirling the school color flags, but we had to get to school early to hoist the flag onto the poll, and take it down in the afternoon or whenever it rained. One day in science class, it started downpouring outside so I jumped up, grabbed my two friends/ flag kids and ran out the door. It was at about the end of winter so it was about 40-50 degrees outside... the rain was FREEZING and we had to go take down that damn flag so it wouldnt get wet -.- Not so bad, except the rope used to raise and lower it somehow got a huge knot in it, causing it to get stuck and making it impossible to lower the flag... so we had to stand out in the 40 degree rain, soaking wet, fumbling with a rope. Not to mention I was drenched and the guys kept staring at me instead of the rope (And I dont mean staring at my face... oh isnt it fun to be a girl? -.-) We got the flag down, and the wind blew it away across the street and it got stuck in a nearby tree >.>

there was this one time when i was ten i think and my and my cousins were visiting like all of the museums and the monument just for the heck of it, (we live so close to DC its like we've been there a hundred times) but, when we were going to go visit the monument it started pouring down raining! it was horrible, we were wearing shorts and everything and the rain was like bullets hitting upon our skin! I mean they really hurt! It was just so unexpected, it was all bright sunny and hot then all of a sudden gray clouds roll in and it starts a down pour...

Well, someone is here already to tell you not to backseat moderate. I know, that is backseat moderating in itself, but I acknowledge that I'm hypocritical, so that doesn't bite on me.

[Ranshiin]

If I recall, it began raining over here in late February and didn't stop until early June.

Constant rain for that period of time - and at one point it was that bad, my village was flooded, and I was forced to walk through the best part of four inches of standing water for an hour to get home, because the buses wouldn't drive down the street.

Compared to that, getting wet in the schoolyard is a case of a light drizzle. Accursed British weather.

edit - Amen, Eris.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be serious or anything.

Lol hahah. The same thing happened to me. Unfortounatly it was monsoon season here in sunny Arizona, and it had rained for the past three days. So for my first hour class I have to go to the portables for Japanese II, so I walked there without any problem, but around, oh, the middle of the class period it started raining like no tomorrow. Long story short, my friends and I ran through every puddle and arrived in chemistry soaking wet...we smelled bad xD

[Sagat]

Yes actually, today in fact. My stupid cat chewed through my stupid Wii sensor bar so I went to stupid Pembroke to buy a new one. Stupid Walmart, stupid Zellers and stupid Staples (I was desperate) had nothing, but fortunately the usually stupid The Source store actually had a third party wireless sensor which I bought, and now I am enjoying Metroid Prime 3 to the fullest.

However running from my car into the various stores was not fun. 10 seconds is all it took for me to be drenched.

[OminousCloud]

I always get caught in the rain but I don't really care, it's just water and eventually I'll dry off. It hailed yesterday which was pretty awesome ^_^

[Twig Ee]

I love the rain, it cheers me up That stinx though atleast your shcool isnt like an oven in the summer

[Mittens]

When in London, it rained nearly every single day I was there. I was trying to find my friend's flat in the pouring rain... the directions were getting all blurry... t'was not easy.

But honestly, I didn't mind the actual rain. It never rains where I live.

It doesn't rain in Florida. Rain is a word that makes you think of pleasant showers. We don't have those. We have torrential apocalyptic downpours. If you leave cover even for a second, you are soaked. We have these nearly everyday during the summer. Whoever called this the sunshine state was on acid.

So true.
I experienced this while staying with my grandmother over the summer a few years ago... first time I'd ever been to Florida. Every single day, in the afternoon, without fail, it would monsoon. Not just rain, no, it would come down in buckets. XD

I've been rained on a lot. One of the worst ones was when I went on vacation in the summer (in a tropical country). I was walking through this open area at a market and the sky just tore open and rain came pouring down. There wasn't a warning of a few sprinkles here and there either. O_o It lasted for a couple hours or so...

And I thought Britain's legacy of 'all four seasons in one day' was harsh. o_o

It happened to me lot of times. It pisses me off big time! I kept on being sick because of it.

Dude that sucks. My cat chewed through the cord for my Super Nintendo Entertainment System once.

LOL! Yep, that sounds about right.
What part of Florida, I wonder?
