We've been in a bit of a drought where we live. We haven't seen any rain in about a month. It has rained in the cities to the north of us and to the south of us but not over us. But finally, this afternoon, it rained. Not only did it rain, it stormed. It was our first storm since moving stateside. The power flicked off twice already and reminded me to put the computer on a surge protector. Oddly, it never stormed in Okinawa and where we lived, the power never went out. So it will be a little getting use to. But I love the storms. I turn the lights out, open the blinds and watch the rain fall. The rain has brought us some cooler temps. for the moment. It's 76 degrees compared to the normal 102 we've had daily.
