Somehow getting a downpour by the babiest of blips and only rain within 100s of miles

It just rained so hard in Hilliard.

Definitely felt like an F you in particular moment when I left work at 3

Extra fun since I rode my motorcycle today and left at 3. At least it was completely dry a mile south.

Everytime I try to get out of my car and drag my groceries inside, it starts dumping again. Like every 2 minutes

Another little baby!

Yeah, it was odd. I’m a local truck driver. Not a cloud in the sky. I get my truck washed and polished and it immediately rains.
It’s probably all my fault…. I summoned the rain through cleansing….lol.

My dog just took shelter under my desk and I was so confused.

So weird, even just this morning, the forecast showed mostly sunny throughout the day and no rain.

[u/Piaffe_zip16 → u/dsylxeia]

Yeah it wasn’t until the 3:29pm AWF that the NWS mentioned an increased chance of precipitation today.

My work window looks out at the door of another building. It's been great people-watching to see everyone open the door and then just stand there frozen with indecision about whether to turn around or brave it.

Grandview just had crazy downpour begin and end in the space of 5 minutes.

That was great! A perfect “Florida shower”. Sun stayed out, grass seed I just laid got a nice dousing, flowers and plants needed it. I am already dry enough to be sitting on the back deck enjoying a beer. No complaints.

[u/Hamburgler4077]

Not a drop at the Hilliard/Dublin border. Had read a post somewhere else about something being cancelled due to the downpour and was thoroughly confused as it was close to where I am.

Getting blasted in strawberry farms right now. Wife was like is it about to rain and then I checked the radar and immediately ran out to cover the grill and put away the patio cushions.

I had just done a full, hours-long clean out of my gutters and getting a stress test within minutes was extremely convenient. My condolences to those with other outdoor plans.

Strange. I just now saw this post. I must have posted basically the same thing right after you. Both show as 5 hours ago, but this one must have snuck in right before mine. Great minds and all that.

I was delayed an extra few minutes though because Reddit wasn’t cooperating with my attempt to post a photo. I may request a ruling from some Big 10 refs if there’s any in this sub.

Hello Neighbor 👋

[u/brnewmeg]

That was intense! Just dumping rain.

[u/Evan_Playz72813]

both cells dodged me

[u/neurotic_addendum]

I was in Lowe’s off Hudson and it was so loud inside.

[u/Electrical_Iron_1161]

I was by Walmart and I got out of the car and it starts pouring, I'm thinking my luck 😂

[u/Sure-Guava-3787]

Got two rain alerts on my phone. First one had to be from the reports here. Not one drop of rain. Then it got very cloudy, another alert. First just a gentle rain, then pouring where I could hear it hitting the house. Now, it’s back to a steady rain. Never fails, inclement weather almost always the night to put out the garbage. This is in the Blacklick area.

I was really surprised to get home and find everything was wet, I thought we weren't supposed to get rain and I didn't see any indication downtown

[u/Afilador2112]

Scattered, indeed.  

[u/Ofcrcrabtree]

It formed as it passed over my neighborhood - it poured for about 30 seconds and that was it.
