Well, this happened in Japan during the summertime. So you can only imagine how bad it gets during winter here! ;-)

I remember once in year 11 there was a huge storm while I was in the school library. The sound of rain hitting the roof became so loud many of the students looked out the window in surprise. I love it when I wake up in the morning to hear rain falling outside. You can expect a thunderstorm if the weather had been hot and humid throughout the day and then cool and windy in the evening. I'm afraid to take a bath or shower while there is a thunderstorm.
