Big storm today. Started quite early with lots of wind.
Looking east, the sky was very dark. Rain on its way.
And then it started and came down hard and steady. Pretty soon the upstairs terazza was flooded and the water was coming in under the living room door. Out came the mop and the broom. While Mr. C mopped, I swept rain through the openings under the balcony walls. Water was pouring off the overhangs.
Then the lightening and thunder rolled in, more rain, but soon the wind stopped so water wasn't blowing into the house anymore. We could sit and marvel at the whole event. We've had more rain during this trip than in all the time we've been here (20 years) combined.
Now there's a bit of clearing, it's lightened up out over the ocean, and everything is so fresh and bright, all the salt and dust had washed away and, if we're lucky, we'll have a gorgeous sunset.

Nice and moody ~ I like how your words match the photos. Sunny today?
There is nothing like a tropical cloudburst to remind you how puny you are and how nature can play with you anytime it wants to.
