The satellite map looks good.

The sounds of the thunder and especially the sound of the rain falling is absolutely music to my ears!!!

And the smell of fresh rain falling - ah!

It just started to rain but it is looking like it might be a longer rain storm than 5 minutes.

Fingers crossed!

Okay, so I got a bit over excited. The rain lasted about 5 minutes. Just long enough for me to get all my plants out in the lawn to soak up the rain - and then it stopped. But I'm leaving my plants out there as I am still hopeful!

Hmmm, not looking good. The moon and stars do look beautiful in the sky, however.
