Well, we had a day or two in between where we had no rain. I think it was one day, Wednesday. Yesterday we had another big, huge, wicked thunderstorm. Huge! The lightning was non-stop for at least an hour. The power went off twice, only for a few minutes at a time, but enough to screw up our computers, of course. There was so much rain coming down so heavily that there were leaks all over the buildings. In the dining room, in the gym, in the worker's lounge, in the manager's lounge. Mind you, some of the big floods were because windows were open. I mean, REALLY!! I went into the lunch bag-up room to grab stuff for my breakfast today, and two windows were open with the rain pounding in. Nobody noticed, or cared. They were going about their business of getting their lunches. Sheesh. I closed the windows and called for a mop-up. How hard is that??
Unfortunately, the storm was all but over by the time I was off work, so I didn't get to enjoy listening to it while I was drifting off to sleep. Although the noise from the pounding rain and the huge, close thunder wouldn't have been conducive to sleeping anyway. There must be a metal roof over the lobby, because the sound of pelting rain is really magnified in there. We had a whole groupie section in there, watching out the windows and doors and by the way, I saw many cell phone cameras recording the event. Where was security on that one??? And their office is right there in the lobby.
We also had some extremely hot weather, for this area anyway. Was 91F or 33C on Wednesday. Fairly low humidity though, comparatively speaking. These people here are always complaining about how humid it is. I just laugh at them, though :) Us mid-westerners know what real humidity is. I hear back home is suffering from lack of rain. It's because there's none left after the clouds leave here!
