I am currently sitting at my new desk and waiting for a thunderstorm to pass so I can get to the EPFL without drowning. We've had thunderstorms here in Lausanne almost daily for the last four weeks or so, but generally the have been in the evening. Not today, though.
There was a hint of sunshine around 0700h, but minutes later the view form my balcony (have I mentioned what a great balcony I have?) was like the photo on the left: Ominous.
A couple of minutes later, it was raining cats and dogs, in liquid form. See photo on the right. It is grainy, because I had to use ISO 1600 to get enough shutter speed to capture the water sheeting off the roof on the left, you can see it if you squint a little.
Now it's 0750h, and it will be GoreTex for me I guess. Maybe I should also take my snorkel...
Did you manage not to drown?
ReplyDeleteBarely mate, barely. I was sorely tempted to crawl into the Tokamak for a qick dry-off, but was saved by the fact that it's closed down for repairs.
