When the seasonal rains come to western Utah, the Salt Flats, famous for speed, flood with a few inches of water. You could easily wade across what would seem to be a very large lake. Although it looks like it might rain, after a lifetime of living in the desert, I knew that the chances were very slim that this small storm would move in our direction. When I was young and could drive a car, we used to race across the desert on dirt roads trying to catch these localized showers. If we caught one, we would stop and jump out of the car to dance in the rain. On this day, we did not get to dance in the rain.
