I will huff and puff and blow your house down!

I used to be very afraid of storms when I was little, now I get excited. This city can be dry and hot and cruel during the summer months so I always welcome any change to that. I am sitting at my desk at work watching the wind, rain and lightning from my desk with fingers crossed that it doesn't fizzle out in ten minutes like it keeps trying to do.

One of my best summer memories from growing up is running around in the streets during a rain storm until me and my two best friends were soaked through our clothes and our stomachs hurt from laughing.

Even when storms are loud and scary, kind of like the one I am watching, they are still beautiful to me because they are still foreign to me.
