Today I discovered what the locals mean when they say "sideways rain." I was quickly walking the fifteen minutes back to my car eyeing the ominous black clouds forming above campus. About 200 feet from my car I looked to my left and saw the tell-tale grey wall of Florida rain sweeping towards me. I broke into a sprint along with all the other people in the parking lot. 100 feet to go and it was like that scene in the Passion where the one drop of rain hits and then torrents start pouring from the heavens. Every layer of my clothing was drenched through immediately. And yes, the rain does go sideways and it pelts you (or rather me) in the face and hurts. Just another little fun quirk in Floridian life.
