bringing down the thunder

i've seen a new side to guiyang this week. spring thunderstorms. it's been amazing. i love thunderstorms. it's something i miss greatly when i am living in the NW. tonight we've had a great one. kind of almost like two separate ones. i realize in some people's eyes this may not seem worthy of a blog post and i may have well been in that boat until just a few minutes ago i was brushing my teeth and there was such a strong blast of thunder that a car alarm was set off. i said to myself, this storm just hit blog status. the pounding rain, soaked jeans, and saturated shoes wasn't enough. i needed something like the car alarm and it happened and thus, you have now read about it.
