We have storms a few times a week. They usually roll in like this from across the river. I like it at night when I lay in my bed listening to the rain hammering the metal roof of the carport just outside my window and then suddenly, though I wouldn't have thought it possible, it starts pouring down even harder. The thunder usually just consists of ominous rumblings in the distance, but every once in a while there will be a bright flash and before I can get to "One-one-thousand, two..." a thunder clap hits that jolts my body and makes my heart race. It's quite exhilarating.
