At about 9:30pm I thought I heard thunder but on other occasions I had heard similar noises that turned out to be large trucks or something else but this time there were no trucks in site. Then I saw lighting. Perhaps heat lighting I thought, but I went out to see anyways. As I got outside I was surprised to feel big wet drops falling on my head and about ten other international students standing outside staring at the sky. It was rain indeed. In about 10 minutes the rain had all but stopped but we stood outside a bit longer enjoying the moment. In about an hour all the puddles had disappeared and the event was over.
Not terribly exciting, but the fact that it is of note, is perhaps of note.

LOL! Because of various Typhoons I've had to run to the roof to take my clothes off the line on several occasions...
and one day I was in class and realized I didn't hitch my umbrella to my bike as soon as a thunderstorm started, so I had to grab a public umbrella...
It's mostly been 小雨, but occasionally we get 大雨 (with 雷) (I assume it's the same characters in Chinese... so you can read that probs)
hehe... just wait until the rainy season starts! then you'll have more rain than you know what to do with :-p
