Rain.

the sky...hashtagnofilter :P

       Summer in Florida is full of amazing things (including amazing heat), but one of the most breathtaking things is the rain. Ask any Florida native, and they will chuckle when you mention 'The Sunshine State.'
                   Because when it rains here, it pours.
       While during most days in June, July, and August Florida is beaming with radiant, sweaty sunshine, the month of July brings afternoon thunderstorms as sure as the fish in the ocean. This takes most tourists off guard. One moment they're enjoying a sweltering, shining day at Disney World and then the next the whole sky opens up and they are huddled in a tiny gift shop buying eight dollar ponchos wondering, 'where did that come from?'
                  Since I live on a farm, I can tell you where it comes from.
        Most of the area around us is completely flat and dense with trees, so the view of the sky is appallingly narrow at any given spot, excluding maybe the freeway. This is most unfortunate for everyone, because the way a summer rain rolls in is absolutely gorgeous. Storms gather off the East coast and blow in around four in the evening on most days. The sky seems perfectly blue and sunny on one side, but on the other, rolling into sight, it is formidably black. Just as you notice the darkness floating towards you, a mysterious breeze picks up.

          The stronger the winds gets, the quicker the mood changes in the sky. Soon, what was once a sunny afternoon looks like the beginnings of a hurricane, with trees bending and the sun ducking behind heavy clouds. Off in the distance, the space between the sky and horizon is streaked with blue where you can see the rain falling.

       The the wind picks up at an alarming pace and it starts to look like this. Lighting flashes dryly and what was once a faint rumble becomes a heavy crack!

        No photos can do justice to the next part. From across the field, you can see and hear a wall of rain coming down. The sound swells as the rain comes near you. The only thing left to do is to run for your life or soak it in. Either way, it is magic.
