And the skies opened

It rained today!

For a place that gets one or maybe two days of rain a year, it was pretty magical when the water fell just now. I stepped outside to snap a photo. It felt like being in a sauna: it was still brutally hot (well over 100), very humid (obviously), and the raindrops had a weird warm feel.

Within five minutes it had stopped, and now the sun is out again and the sidewalks are dry. But for just a moment, magic.
