I genuinely thought a nearby building had exploded, I'd completely forgotten it was even raining outside.

Nooooooo thunder is caused by lightning causing a sudden increase in air temperature leading to a rapid increase air pressure resulting in a sonic shock wave!!

Where snow.

I don’t even like snow that much I just like that work gets less traffic because people aren’t really out when it comes down

Something very calming about it. The rumble in the big sky

The fact I didn't hear the rain until now, granted I was listening to music, is a testament to how much I am used to the rain.

Heard what I thought was hard rain, I now know was hail. Got colder this afternoon though for sure. I walked up to the tin building for lunch and you could feel that wind.
