spring rain
When you don't have a raincoat, and you leave your umbrella in the car parked far, far away from the front door, the best kind of friend will wrap you up in a bathrobe and a jacket to try and stay dry. This was actually surprisingly effective.
The creekbed behind the house is roaring, a sound like white noise or air conditioners turned on full blast. During the day there were off and on showers, and a fine mist. Shortly after 7:30pm, it started raining hard. Big sheets of raining at forty five degree angles, thunder and staccato bursts of lightning. Driving home, the burst was so bright and prolonged it washed out every street light for blocks. It looked like the sky was on fire. In the parking lot, water was pouring in steams but you could see where the laundromat drained out because it was faintly steaming in the chill rain.
Time for sleep, broken by flashes of lightning.
