Surprise Storm

I was outside at a friend’s house for the last hour, just standing around and talking. When we started, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. About 15 minutes before I left, there were a few sprinkles. But everything was still sunny.

Then, as I headed to my car, it started to lightly drizzle. A quick glance at the radar showed a few showers building to the west, and heading this way.

By the time I reached my house, 5 minutes later, there was a full-on storm in progress. And it’s still going on… The rain is coming down in sheets, there’s thunder and lightning, and there’s a possibility of hail even for the next 30 minutes.

In short… I was surprised! There was no forecast for rain today, and in minutes we went from hot summer day to summer thunderstorm. I won’t complain too much though, as we can definitely use the rain!
