info |
I was coming
out from my office when I saw the storm approaching fast.
Driving
down the hill, the clouds opened and let that sunray
come
into the valley below. Slammed on the breaks, opened the backpack
in
the back seat, took out the camera and shot twice in center
weighted
meter
mode. As I went back for the tripod it began to rain heavily
so I
could
not take more and drove fast to the safety of my home.
In
just two hours the downpour was the equivalent to
5 years' rain.
Sadly,
many drowned.
