- It was as clear as day.
- It was like a slap in the face.
- It hit me over the head.
- It was written in the stars.
- The handwriting was on the wall.
- The signs were all there.
- The truth was staring me in the face.
- The evidence was overwhelming.
- It was as plain as the nose on your face.
- It was as sure as the sun rising in the east.
