Thunderstorms


Every time Hubby is away from home for whatever reason (business trips or reservist), it never fails to rain.

The last time Hubby was away was in January this year. He had gone for a week of reservist training. On the very first day that he was not at home, the sky suddenly turned overcast in the late afternoon. Soon, a thunderstorm ensued.

This time round, there was no exception. Actually, the weather had been hot and humid the past few weeks, with only very few light drizzles on and off.

After I woke up from my afternoon nap, I was surprised by how dark the sky has become. So much so that I had to switch on the lights in the room at 4.30 in the afternoon when usually it is bright and sunny. In no time at all, huge droplets of water fell from the sky and the occasional roar of the thunder can be heard.

What a strange phenomemon. We were still lamenting how hot the weather has been for the past few weeks and now, a thunderstorm...

Sigh... even the sky is crying with me...
