A Spectacular Thunder Storm

It began to cloud up here about 3:30 PM and by 5:30 a spectacular thunder and lighting storm erupted the likes I have not experienced since I lived in the Eastern U. S. The storm has been accompanied by very heavy rain. An hour later the thunder continues to roll over the city, with each report erupting over the city and rolling off into the distance over a period of ten seconds, or so.

The rainy season here runs from June through September and I am told that most of the rain comes during afternoon thunder storms, just as in the Eastern U. S. Such storms are one of the few things I have missed about living in the East, the Fall colors being another, so I am looking forward to next Summer.
