Thunderstorms

It has been so long since I've been in a thunderstorm. This is the first time I've experienced one in Portland. Portland rarely gets them and this past summer in Salt Lake City had hardly any.
I always love rain, but thunderstorms just make me indescribably happy.
The loud rain falling. The thunder booming in the distance. The wind. The huge heavy rain drops.
The most beautiful thing in the world.
Thunderclaps right above. Loud enough to make you jump out of your skin, heart racing.
Like huge sheets of metal being shaken and snapped

It made today so much better

I don't want it to end.

Thunderstorms are on my list of things I wish I could preserve forever.

...back to studying for finals....
