Went out for an hour and a half drive this evening.. beautifully warm, humid.. with blue skies and clouds building, colors of white and battleship gray..

In the distance I could see where the rain was falling.. In sheets straight down! Then we could see lightening flashes, forks directly down to the earth..

We missed the rain, followed it route; and along the verges steam was rising in the heat.  When we got back the streets here soaked and deep puddles everywhere..

A tree in the garden only just releasing the rain water.. and hundreds of bugs flying around in the humid air.. caught in the sunlight..

Now, as in the video, it's pouring.. stair rods of rain coming straight down.. lightening again..

And I'm wishing I could run out into the garden and get drenched in it!
