This afternoon it got really dark and we knew a storm would soon be upon us. It came all right! It's hard to imagine so much water so quickly. This put to shame any Vancouver pineapple express during February. It was a torrential thunderstorm. Buckets of water were pouring off the roofs. The area in front of our building turned into a 10cm lake. Ear-splitting thunder roared and next-door lightning flashed
The tropics stay green for the abundance of sun AND water.
After 40 minutes, it finished. There's now no water coming down and very little evidence anything out-of-the-ordinary occurred. I'm glad I saw, heard, and experienced this afternoon's rain. I do love the tropics!
