It sprinkled a bit while we were walking the dog a few minutes ago.

Yesterday a squall hit downtown that was really wild. Sheets of sideways rain, high winds, the works.

I heard that in my office! Looked out, and everyone was at the windows watching it.

"Yesterday a squall hit downtown that was really wild. Sheets of sideways rain, high winds, the works."

I took a walk downtown during such a weather event. I call it "The day it rained umbrellas."

There were umbrellas everywhere; in trash bins, gutters, under car wheels, and occasionally, presciently still folded in their owner's hands in the rain.

I put my glasses in a pocket, pulled my parka hood tight, and trudged.
