In Z DriZZle

We had one helluva thunderstorm during the middle of the night. One of those rains so intense it was difficult just to see across the street. If the heavy rain had been constant instead of just brief episodes we would've had some serious flooding to contend with. But it seemed to let up just before the canal overflowed. It continued to drizzle while I went to the beach to have a look-see, so I shot a couple of photos east and west just as the sun peeked under the clouds. There was almost a rainbow as you can see on the left side of the bottom photo below. But the sun won the day and now it looks like it's going to be just another perfect day at the beach for the thousands of visitors who are here.

If you look closely you can see some of the drizzling raindrops.

I hope all the fishermen made it safely back to port. The early morning thunderstorm was extremely intense albeit fortunately brief.
