I've seen that too. It's really cool, like one of those cartoons where
the
single rain cloud is following someone around.


Used to see that years ago when traveling to AZ. Going through TX & NM you
could see for miles and watch those thunderstorms go across the highway
miles ahead of you. By the time you got there, the road was wet for a mile
or two, then back to dry road again. Once we saw where some unfortunate slid
off the road into a 6' deep ditch, then kept driving down the ditch for
about 3mi trying to find a way out until they got stopped at a crossing.
Only way they were going to get out was a tow.
