monsoon starts

slow thunderstorms drift through the region, some far away, some near. one passes over. didn’t think it would be much, but I caught a flash view of it while peering out the window, gray-blue shades. rain tails the gravity convection dropping to the earth. over there. then suddenly it arrives. I race around the house checking windows, doors, and unplugging electronics. Lightning is striking all around, from all directions. the house about 300 meters down the hill gets a shot on the teevee antenna. the sensation of the Light and sound arriving simultaneously, or at least near it, leaves a permanent orb-pressing trace on me.
