Rain in biblical proportions

Howdy everyone. Been a while...I know.

We are settling into the routine nicely - gym, school, sleep, etc. The kids are fun, everything else isn't. But that's another story...

So because it is the tail end of the rainy season the rain is falling hard out. Everyday. In biblical proportions. And when it rains it shuts everything down. Traffic stops, cabs don't pick you up, the sky darkens, thunder rolls, etc. The other great thing is that the really torrential rain usually starts about the time that we go home from school. So great! Anyway, on Tuesday, the rain came at about 3:30pm and the sky grew darker than I have ever seen before. It was like night time. I was sitting in my classroom talking to my co-teacher when there was the loudest thunderclap I have ever heard and an extremely bright flash (in some countries they call it lightening...) Anyway, the lightening hit a transformer about 25 meters away from where I was sitting and it caught it on fire. The transformer was attached to the music room and possibly ruin all the equipment in the music room. Unbelievable.

Well...that's about all the interesting stuff that has happened here.
