It's 4:40 in the morning. Lightning flashes came through the half-opened window blinds, followed by rumbling sounds of thunder. We waited for a defeaning sound that usually punctuates Philippine thunder. But nothing of the sort happend. Then the rains fell and we expected torrents as it gathered strength but it was only a short-lived pattering on the rooftop.
A small puddle of water was created in the yard and no sign showed it would become bigger. It was a disappointment as clouds was only lingering in the sky. California is suffering from drought and the state would have been relieved, at least for this day, if more rains fell.
Would there be rains in the afternoon? My son who is the night shift in a hospital has just arrived and reported it was raining cats and dogs in Hemet.
