It rained for about an hour yesterday. The rain was steady and very heavy at times. Thunder and lightning accompanied the storm. The smell of hot, dry cement being covered with rain brought me back to my roots on the east coast.
I have spent more time than I want to admit editing this 33-second clip of rain, but I know that I will watch it often while awaiting the return of the rainy season, still months away.
(Note: Some people have told me that the video does not show up. I think this is because of size limitations. Click here to link directly to Flickr.)
I love this. I crave rain like a marooned sailor craves a freshwater spring.
