Oh I loved this and I loved the energy with which you told it (it was worth the re-records :) We are currently in rainy season here in Mexico and are having the best rainy season we've had in years. Where I live is surrounded by mountains so the thunder ripples off them going on for ages and makes the windows tremble. The road outside is super steep and turns into a river which rushes along, adding to the soundtrack and the lightning is almost constant. The electricity often goes out so I sit by candlelight enjoying the show (and feeling grateful that I am inside). At the end of the dry season the mountains are brown but within about 10 days of the rainy season they spring into new found life. It's a marvel every year! Thanks again for this wonderful volume :)

I grew up in the Philippines where thunderstorms are like the end of the world for two hours. But after two hours that's it, you're done. Now I live in the Netherlands where rain is often a passive-aggressive mist that lasts for two weeks. I'll take the former.

In fact, sometimes when people ask me what I miss about the Philippines, I say: "rain that you can hear."

Like the end of the world for two hours and then you are done!- that’s such a perfect way to describe it. And passive-aggressive mist is also so perfect!

"rain you can hear"

YES!

Thank you for putting this into words, you are so right with Australia vs Canada, too. I want it to be so loud on the roof we have to raise our voices, or just meditate to the sound. Hehe. Thank youuuuu 🧡🧡🧡

Love thunderstorms and we've had only a handful. Missing those big earth quenching rains with distant thunder. ⛈️
