I was supposed to go to the free Spoon concert after work today, but when I left the office it was right in the middle of a torrential downpour. It was amazing how hard and fast the water came down. DUMBO flooded pretty quickly so even with an umbrella I got soaked just by crossing streets to get to the subway. I felt sort of guilty as I was walking to the train, thinking that I should have offered to share my umbrella with someone among the twenty or so people waiting out the rain in our lobby. Oh well.
The photo above is obviously not of Brooklyn in the rain, but it is of the one place in the world that I associate crazy downpours with - India! I spent many a day soaked after walking from the dormitories to the school in the monsoon. We learned quickly to keep an extra set of clothes in our lockers...
