Well that was exciting!
Cubs and I went up to Soulsis' today to give Miss Raven her birthday present. It had begun raining as we headed home but by the time we'd come down out of the hills it was raining so hard visibility was down to about 5m. Could barely see the traffic lights let alone the road lines.
Wasn't going to drive in that so crawled in to a supermarket carpark to wait it out.

Through the windscreen:

Through the back window:

Three minutes later it was clearing up.
Probably could've pushed on, slowly, and driven out of it but didn't want to risk a bingle.

It more or less stopped raining then and the only thing we had to worry about was the moderate flooding where the drains hadn't managed to cope with the sudden downpour. Watching a bus throw up a 2m sheet of dirty water made me very glad I wasn't a pedestrian just then. :)
