Boom!

Afternoon storms are here again, just like clockwork.  The sky darkens in early afternoon and the black clouds quickly roll across the Everglades.  Within minutes the whole sky opens up and our office trailer rumbles from the loud booms of thunder.  

 The lights generally flicker, sometimes leaving us in the dark for a few seconds before the generator kicks in. The horizon is blurred with the downpour of rain, flying at every angle with tropical storm force winds. 

 I like to stand by the front door and look out into the rain.  It never ceases to amaze me the force of nature and I always stand there smiling, contemplating the strangeness of where I am.
