This is called "bastard rain".

It happens when enough people wash their cars and it rains just enough to make them look dirty, but not really wet the ground.

Yeah I was driving home from Ray and Gilbert to the same area as you, and it was raining pretty steadily the whole way until I hit McClintock.

u/JBob804 9d ago

Yeah it sounds like we got lucky. Hopefully next time, it’ll be your turn. 👍

Oh, okay.

Did you know that elephants communicate with low-frequency rumbles that travel miles, often inaudible to humans?

u/1001og 10d ago

Oh yeah!? Well. It’s been raining pretty good over here on Az ave and Galveston. It’s super cooler than elephants.

u/yougotmidsbud 10d ago

False.

An elephant’s trunk contains over 150,000 muscles and tendons, making it one of the most sensitive organs in mammals. It can suck up to 8 liters of water, act as a snorkel, and even pick up small objects.

This fact alone makes the elephant cooler than any condensed water vapors could ever dream to be.
