BLACK RAIN

We went out shopping today and got stuck in a rain storm with no umbrellas. When we left home it was cloudy but we thought we would beat the rain. We tried to walk close to the building to stay dry but it didn't work. This what a black rain storm looks like the sky is black. The storm only happens for a few a minutes but it the fall of the rain is heavy.
