Electrical Storms
I remember growing up in Ontario, where there'd be electrical storms fairly often. I would look in fascination at the lightning bolts outside my window, and I'd fall asleep to periodic thunder and the lighting up of my dark bedroom. Then we moved to BC, which produced electrical storms very rarely, I'd say once every 3 years or so. I guess Vancouver's weather is much too moderate to have decent electrical storms.
Well, Kumamoto has some pretty decent electrical storms too. I saw a good one yesterday as I drove home from the city. It was raining so hard yesterday that I couldn't clean my windshield of rain at the highest wiper speed. But I digress...I'm happy that Kumamoto has more 'extreme' weather patterns, where warm air masses collide with cold air masses. This summer should once again provide me with endless entertainment as I watch these magnificent electrical storms.
