Rain

We are experiencing the most incredible thunderstorm right now. It started about an hour before sunset, which is unusual, and the sky became pitch black, the heavens opened, etc. 45 minutes on it is still going strong: white-out visibility, near-continuous thunder--as loud as only very nearby thunder can be. Less than 1/3 a second between lightning and thunder. I grew up in South Carolina; I've been in Cambodia during the monsoon; I'm telling you, this is some serious rain. It smells so intoxicating, so delicious outside: ozone and wet dirt. I have five or six jagged lines emblazoned on the blood-red inside my eyelids. I'm thinking John might be a little late getting home from work.

UPDATE: moving off slighty, at least 10 seconds between lightning and thunder, though raining harder than before. Tiny bits of hail (think about it.) Sumatra is about to catch holy hell.

So I've been thinking about it. Snow?
