The big Storm.

I have to admit; I was laughing when I heard the news that the "year's biggest storm" was heading our way, with a quarter of an inch of rainfall.
First of all, a quarter of an inch, compared to where I'm from, is NOTHING, secondly; when does it ever rain in LA?
Wednesday came along and it started raining. I thought that was it, and I was laughing again, then, I think it was the same night, it started storming. I was literally sitting outside watching it, because I have missed it so much, but that was just a storm, a nice little storm, nothing more.
Today is Friday, the rain has passed, but DAMN! that was a storm. Not a long one, but seriously, I have never in my life heard thunder that loud, and I have heard a lot of thunder. Within 10 minutes it was pouring and it wouldn't stop.
I was too amused about the fact, that I got a text saying: "When we heard the thunder we thought we were being shot, so LA.", because that was exactly what was going through my mind. It sounded like a bomb just hit. Bunny was shaking and Luigi was not to be gotten out from under the bed. It was perfect timing to leave the house and switch cars. I got SnapChats from people running in the rain, commenting about thunder and it was wonderful. I have never seen this before, and I come from a pretty rainy country. I mean google Switzerland, I'm sure they'll tell you that there's a lot of rain.
Anyway. That was basically it. Luigi is still under the bed. Bunny demanded to go outside (I mean, she's a stubborn little thing and I'm aware of that, but what bunny in it's right mind would demand to sit outside in a thunderstorm?). Now everything seems calm, the roads are still wet, but apart from that, there's no more trace of the epicnes that happened.
In conclusion, maybe I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did (actually I should have, you should have seen the reactions to this apparent Storm of a century), but this was wonderful. I miss the rain, I'm glad I had it back for a bit.
