I wonder if most people get to experience this type of weather. Being from Florida I have a deep-down strong LOVE for it!
The night brings in "the calm before the storm". The stop lights at each street and the tale lights of the one leading car in front of you reflect red off the street below. Those sitting at home hear the whistling wind calmly rumbling the house and the rain showering down on the roof top make the most amazing orchestrated melody sending you straight into sleep mode or such a relaxed state as if you were some sort of robot programmed with different settings when you hear different sounds.
It's usually summer time and it rains off and on leaving the roads nice and shiny. It could be sunny but within seconds the rain comes down again forcing people in doors and leaving some (like myself) in a water wonderland almost better than any water park you could imagine. The winds become strong and feel incredible as the flags hanging in front of patriotic homes and business's rip forward as if to escape the pole they're attached to.

It's a certain sight, smell, and feel very difficult to explain that maybe not just Florida bred enjoy.
It's been this way today and for the last couple of days here in Pennsylvania only leaving a strong ache in me for just how much I miss the summer storms in the place I was born and spent 19 glorious years of my life, Bradenton Florida!
