Summer is filled with wonderful sounds: the tinkling of ice in lemonade, leaves rustling in the breeze, the sizzle of a barbecue, the jingle of the ice cream truck, birdsong, and the soft glow of lightning bugs.
But summer isn’t complete without at least a few violent thunderstorms and torrents of rain. Lightning cracks the sky open — loud and sudden, with claps that sound like explosions.
Rain joins in with the wind, snapping tree limbs, whisking away garbage cans, shaking stop signs, and drumming on rooftops.
For a few moments, all thought is suspended. You feel small — a witness to the wild and raw energy of the storm.
