While people far and wide like to refer to Vancouver as Raincouver, some days the name proves its worth. That day was yesterday.
As the city braced for a mini-pineapple express, Twitter and Instagram users took the opportunity to hashtag #Raincouver. And yeah: it was definitely raining. Hard.
There was the calm before the storm:
And even some beauty during the storm:
Because when you live in Vancouver, you have to get used to this kind of thing.
But it wasn't all pretty..
..And it certainly wasn't activity-friendly.
It was on windows:
And roads:
And sidewalks:
And ultimately, even in the most horrendous downpour, it was home.
