I live in the desert. As a result, I don’t see much rain. That was not the case this past Saturday, September 27th. I was at work at my day job around 5:00pm. The sky was looking a bit dark, but I didn’t think too much of it, until the sky opened up in a massive amount of rain. The parking lot outside was drenched. People coming into the store were running to escape the worse of it. The lights were flickering and I was worried they might turn off altogether. Luckily, the lights stayed on.
The biggest surprise of the day was the thunder. I could hear it, but I didn’t take much notice of it, until a thunderous boom sounded outside. Everyone looked up at that. Someone who had just walked outside immediately ran back in, saying, “Nope. Nope. Nope.”
All in all, I would say that the rain only lasted about twenty minutes. It stayed dark for a while, but I didn’t notice any more rain. The joys of rain in the desert. I wish it would rain here more often.
