It's Back

I can't remember the last time like this, but after about two weeks of dry conditions, it stormed once again this night. It's odd, apparently September is supposed to be the wettest month of the year, yet it's been by far the driest so far. Tonight though, everything changed again. As evening arrived, instead of the normal picturesque sunset, heavy dark clouds covered the landscape. An hour or so after that, sheet lightning filled the sky, and soon regular bolt lightning joined in. When the thunder rang out, surprisingly Sonic ran for cover. Now, usually Molson is scared of loud cracking sounds, but this time Sonic ran for the bottom of the boat. In fact, he only came out of hiding as I typed this up.



One other issue facing us is the dreaded heat. September is not just the wettest month statistically, but the hottest month as well. Today, the heat was especially bad, with the sun glaring down as intensely as ever. Like all places, you don't want to stand on any metal or anything dark, but even standing on normal wood was unbearable in this heat. Even the locals who seem pretty attuned to the heat found it really bad today. The only good thing from all of this, is that it brought the rain which cooled everything quite nicely.
