those pesky hurricanes, popping up out of nowhere
It wasn't a hurricane, most are thinking that it was some sort of freak tornado or whatever. And, although it looked like rain, it did hit very quickly, and was intense for about 15 minutes, and then tapered way off to a light drizzle and then gone. I saw at least a dozen trees uprooted throughout the town, power was out for half of it, power lines were down and roads were blocked by trees. Earlier that day it was pretty clear actually. I don't think i can remember a storm quite like that one in Carlisle in the 20 years that i have lived here.
The corvette show is pretty much the big end to the Car Show season here, and is always a pretty big deal. There is a parade, and dozens upon dozens of Corvettes in town for the few days that the show lasts. That this freak storm happened then really sucks.
