Storm clouds were brewing late this morning as we headed out to run a couple of errands near Eastwood Mall. By the time we hit Niles, the rains came down - in torents! It was so bad it was hard to see and sewers were backing up, so we pulled over and stopped to wait out the worst of it. I can remember only one other time in my life when rain forced us to stop the car. On the positive side, though, we desperately need rain!
