Last night at about 9:30pm, I was sitting on the couch reading my book. The child had gone to bed earlier, by some miracle. I heard a thundering sound, and at first, thought it was a truck. We live on a pretty busy intersection. Then more thundering, and more! Wow! It was a huge lightening storm! The thunder was just crashing around us, like the storm was right over the house. Then, like out a movie, the sky opened up and it _poured_ like I have not seen it pour in a LONG time. I actually got up and watched out the window for quite a while....it was very impressive! It was so loud on the roof and our little aluminum chimney, I was afraid of my son waking up, but he slept soundly through the whole thing. Wow, again! After about 10 minutes, the rain slowed down, but it didn't stop until after I went to sleep, which was about midnight. Mother Nature was throwing a tantrum last night!! And it was a good one!

g and i were in beaverton enjoying a miserable drive through traffic when the sky opened up, like you said. this was much earlier, of course, but there were funnel clouds (not touching down) and pouring, pouring icy rain that sounded like it could break the windows. i love storms. from inside a safe location, that is. LOL
anj and marlin and i all used to run around the yard like lunatics when it hailed; we'd get so excited. maybe we were mentally ill, but now i think it was more of a instinctual pagan ritual of appreciation.
