storm(let)

We had our first thunderstorm of the season yesterday. It was kinda pathetic, actually. Or rather, it had two impressive moments, but was also impressive in its brievity. We had two peals of thunder - the first one was a long, drawn-out rumble - a suddening downpour of huge drops, big enough to sound like hail, and then, ten minutes later . . . nothing. Come on, I want a storm! A big, serious rainstorm that requres raincoats and umbrellas, the kind that make us worry the flat top roof's gonna back up! (okay, I really don't want the roof to back up and leak again, but you get the idea.) Last year's rainy season was pathetic.

I feel your pain on this one... I love a good rain/thunderstorm and I feel a bit cheated myself when one is over before it gets started good. *sigh* It just seems like storms lasted longer in my younger years and here in the past 3 or 4 years (at least in this region) they have been lackluster indeed.

Global warming? The weather's been pretty pathetic in this region, too. Nothing like what I remember from even 10 years ago.
