Right Now!

As you might have gathered from my previos post, the weather has been unsettled (OOOH, Thunder boom!)  here in my little town.  As I write this, the pavement is dry.  We don't get real storms very often, so most of us get pretty excited when we do.  Enormous sporadic drops hitting the pavement now.  I hate the muggyness that goes with this weather, but I love it when it pays off with a real storm.  Pavement is wet, cars are hissing rather than rumbling, but it's still not a downpour.  Going out to look.  Whee!  Rip of lightning!

Followup 7:00 pm: Quite wonderful and refreshing!  I'm guessing an inch and a half fell in 10-15 minutes.  I think this may be the heaviest downpour I've witnessed here.  More in a later post.
