the quick flash of lightning,
the rumbling sound of thunder,
downpour drenches all.
It's not just a thunderstorm, but it's a hailstorm too. It's such a rarity to experience a thunderstorm out here in California, complete with lightning. There was a calm before the storm, where the rain paused briefly only to begin ferociously ten minutes later.
I imagine that people are dealing with blackouts and flooding already. I took enough classes about landscape architecture to know that flooding, mudslides and liquification is a very real danger in the Bay Area, and that most buildings aren't really built to withstand the centennial weather occurances. At least it isn't as bad as last year where it rained for almost two straight weeks. The rainy weather will go away soon, I think.
