Thunderstorms

Auckland's weather forecast for today (according to Metservice) is thunderstorms. This may sound odd but possibly due to the rarity of being caught in a thunderstorm, I find them very interesting and exciting. There's just something about the day turning into night and hearing the thunder rumble followed by a flash of lightning that's almost attractive. Despite not being a "rain person", to me, a thunderstorm can be as exciting as snow (only it's not as fun to be outside).

However, I have yet to see the sky completely darken. Apart from a little spitting before, there is not a drop of rain and from what I can see from my window, the sky is clearing up, the sun is out and you can hear the cicadas chirping.

Oh well, you can't have something just because you want it (and that applies to many aspects of life).

Until the next thunderstorm. Perhaps it'll come tonight? Hmmm lets see...
