Rainy Season

As I mentioned in earlier posts we arrived at the beginning of the rainy season here. It is supposed to be from June till around September or October. The first couple weeks it only rained a short period once every 4 or 5 days then it was just warm weather otherwise. I even gave our gardner a hard time about this so-called rainy season (once a week). However, over the past week that has started to change. I have lived in the Arizona during monsoon season, Florida during hurricane season, Kansas during tornadoes and the Rocky Mountains during the summer lightning storms. Take all of that, mix it in a bowl till the lumps are gone. Now add about 10,000 Howitzer long range artillery cannons side by side from one horizon across the sky to the other horizon. These cannons don't fire all at once, its one at a time in succession from one side of the earth to the other and lasts for over a minute. No joke!! Its a deep down and otherworldly explosion that you feel in your guts, preceded by a magnificent lightning bolt. Yesterdays storm produced a bolt so clear and defined I can still picture its jagged edges and it produced a greenish aura as it pierced the clouds. The rain is every day now, with no roads comes no drainage. Rivers form alongside the storefronts with enough flow that I could have floated a canoe to the store. We keep hearing that its only going to get worse. Yesterdays temps- 90 degrees w/80% humidity thats when the sun was shining and it was clear.
