Just kidding, I like the rain. I took a few pics out of my front door and one of the side doors. Nice rain!

I love the sound of a thunderstorm while going to bed. It's very relaxing, and can be really cool if lightning starts hitting nearby when the storm is almost past.

This past summer lightning struck an apartment really, really close to my house and made everything fall off tables and stuff [lol] It also blinded me and blew my ears up, but it was pretty cool anyways.

Agreed, rain sucks but lightning storms are awesome! Too bad there aren't any good lightning storms over here... [:(]

^Yeah, I was at fright fest at Great America, which is always packed, but it rained lightly in the morning. The place was empty! Even the line for Dark Knight was less than 15 min!

Oh yeah, here is some advice: DO NOT ride an impulse coaster in the pouring rain! It pelts you in the face!

Not Goliath at SFMM either. i was there for 4 days and one night it rained they almost shut down the park (BUT THEY DIDN'T THEM BASTARDS) I RODE GOLIATH IN THE DAMNED RAIN (btw it wasn't RAIN it was "rain" that felt like needles at 80 mph) AND CAME OFF HURTING MORE THAN MY RECENT NEAR LEG BREAK. OMFG NEVER RIDE GOLIATH IN THE RAIN!!!

I did that on Raging Bull and V2, but V2 was A LOT worse.

On goliath, coming out of that tunnel hurt like a bitch. The guy behind me was ducking behind me and at the end of the ride he told me i was brave enough to take one for the team (I WAS IN THE f#@<ING FRONT SEAT). Everyone was putting their hands over their faces to save themselves (but I (like an idiot) was STILL holding my hands up throughout the entire ride). I must admit i need to ride V2 in the rain "just to see what will happen." and my goliath experiance was totally worth it ;).

To Oscar, come to seattle. we'll show you what the real meaning of rain means. [approve][lol][approve]
