A couple weeks ago we had some really nice storms in Vegas. Tons of lightning, good thunder, and even a whole bunch of rain. It all started at about 2AM. I got up to see if I thought the storms were coming or going, because I had woken up from the lightning (I guess my blinds aren't so hot...) I decided that the storms were going, as the lightning was coming from the east, but I still opened the window and laid back down in the hopes that I'd hear thunder.
As luck would have it, the storms did come back to the west. The lightning was even close enough to where it was instantaneous thunder. At one point, I even thought a fireball was coming through the window-yes, my imagination does get the better of me a good portion of the time.
An hour or so later, P&AF's alarm went off.
P: "Mhrmphf..."
M: (thinking) "What did he say? Did he just spit on me? There is something wet on my face. It feels cold though. Not like spit."
P: "It's raining in our bedroom."
M: "What?"
P: "Yeah, it's raining in our bedroom. It's a 3D experience. You opened the window."
M: "Ummm...no...I closed it an hour ago. Turn the light on."
(Side note: We have a ceiling fan/light combo in the bedroom.)
P&AF turns the light on, and we see water streaming down from the ceiling through the ceiling fan, where it is then dispersed about the room by the fan blades.
M: "Turn it off, turn it off!"
P&AF reaches up to the cord hanging from the fan/light.
I envision a sparking electrocuting mess.
M: "No, NO, at the door, at the door."
I sat in bed with a bucket and watched lightning the rest of the morning. It was fun.
Don't worry, the HOA is fixing the roof any day now.
