Woke up to the backup generator kicking on, (Navy flashbacks) stuck my head outside to see who else was without power...and got wet. Do I have a broken pipe? Wait! Can that liquid be coming from the sky?!
Yes! Rain!
First Rain!!

Been raining/drizzling/pouring here for hours! LOVE it. And, the electricity came back on.

Yes! Rain!
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but the absence of the sounds of any fan running certainly made hearing the rain easier since with the rain also came a blackout downtown that lasted for a little over an hour, reminding me of what life was like here without electricity, especially trying to sleep during these hottest most humid nights of the year.
Near the dolphins on la Ropa we got 1.5 cm or .6 inches. I took a picture of the brown hills at noon today and will take another Monday. Bet it's greener!

I did the same thing with the photo! Nice that the first rain was gentle and consistent for quite a while so as much as possible could soak in and not just run off.

Yes, it was a good first rain, but there goes the bay water for a few days. Six months of crud from the buildings and streets straight into the bay along with a few gifts from careless people.
We definitely won't be ocean swimming for a few days.....
