Around 9 we walked over to the lake to go for a night swim, the day was too warm and when the sun has just set the temperature is wonderful! Looking out over the water to see the water reflect the sky to make it look seamless, only where the lights of the other city are not visible. We get back to shore, drink a little wine, chat. Then we start seeing the lightning, it's far away though, no worries. Frequency increases, slowly, not noticeably, at least not until there is clearly a large rain cloud right over the lake, and it's getting bigger. We think, oh, maybe half an hour. And then the first drips hit as we pack up our things.
Drip......... drip........ drip.. drip.. drip.drip.dripdripdripdrip BUCKETS of water. Soaked through and through, dress clinging, hair flat, feet ancle deep in water flowing down the street.
AWESOME.
