So, we all know how rainy it's been lately, but the same night we went to the carnival, it rained like the sky itself had fallen! I have never seen rain like this in Utah. Only when I was in Brazil during their rainy season have I ever witnessed so much liquid carnage! The worst part was that the storm drain flooded in the middle of our parking lot! It was so deep, some cars couldn't even drive through it, but our trusty Jeep got through it just fine, although some of the water hit the radiator and we got a lot of steam, but besides that, everything was fine. We also decided to see for ourselves how deep it really was. Meygen donned herself with everything waterproof that she could find and I threw on some shorts and sandals (like any man would), and we headed out. First though we had to pass under the giant waterfall that was caused by our plugged storm drain which is located directly above the entrance to our building. After that though, the only wet was from the puddle and the constant wall of water falling from above.
This is the waterfall of water blocking the entrance to our building. You can't see it too well, but it was a TON of water!
Doesn't Meygen look so cute in her blue coat? And look how deep she is in the puddle!
And this wasn't even the deepest part of the huge puddle.
I braved the seas in sandals, but there was a lot of crap on my legs afterward. Ewww! (please ignore my gut... LOL)
