Sopping Wet

On his walk home from work Wednesday, Russell got caught in a downpour. After a week of heat and humidity, a cold front ripped through the area and brought sheets of rain down on Center City. He reportedly started sprinting home when he saw the wall of water coming behind him, but he was soon overtaken by it. Thunder from the storm was so close that it set off car alarms. A lightning show ensued. He was almost blown off the Walnut Street bridge by the strong wind. Here is Russell, after finally making it home:





And here is a video of how much water was in his shoes.
