Days of Thunder

In the past two days I have heard two peals of thunder. Both of them sounded like explosions going off right above my head. Last night, it set off car alarms. It was awesome! Both were preceded by bright flashes of lightning, so I was not caught off guard, but they were loud enough to still be startling.
Then it began to rain, but it was a bit disappointing. That level of thunder deserves better rain. I enjoy a good, hard rain. That is the best time to take a walk. I am not a big fan of the days upond days of grey, dingy rain. I need the sunshine. But give me a good thunderstorm with heavy rain, the kind of raindrops that are so big you can track them from a klick up all the way to the ground. Walking in that type of rain is so cool. Of course, I have to avoid the lightning, but hey, that can be a fun game...
