Forecast For Storm

---

On the night between the ninth and tenth of June the weather changed. There had been a forecast out since a couple of days, a forecast telling of storm gusts and lots of rain. Well, it proved to be true. As I was lying there trying to sleep the thunder and lightning started some time after midnight. It was impossible to try not to notice it. The room was illuminated by constant lightning, although the thunder was more discrete, rumbling a bit in the background. Except on occassion it would creep really close and slam so hard through the buildings that the vibrations would set off car alarms in the street. It wasn't until around three or four in the morning that the rain followed. Suddenly the views of Victoria Harbour disappeared. Before long you couldn't even see across the street, it was as if a giant grey draping had been pulled in front of the window. Then the hard raining started. Somewhere in all this mayhem I actually managed to fall asleep...
