Singin’ In the Rain

I went out this afternoon to run some errands in the neighborhood. I stopped in a computer store and looked around for a few minutes.  I walked towards the door and discovered that it was pouring rain outside.  It was perfectly fine outside when I went into the store.  Sunny. Hot. Muggy.  Typical of what the weather has been like since we got here.

Several of us congregated at the door and waited for the rain to stop.  About 1/2 hour later I finally decided to stop waiting.  I headed out into the rain and started my walk home.  Six blocks later when I arrived I was soaking wet.  It was pouring like crazy.  I think I’ve learned that I should check the weather in the morning so that I know when rain is expected.

We’re having quite a storm now.  The rain stopped for a while, but it has come back in force.  Serious thunder and lightning too.  Just a few minutes ago the I saw the lightning and heard the thunder just about right then.  It was closer than I’ve ever seen lightning. I think the building shook a little.
