First an odd reddish hugh is cast over everything... (my camera took a true color exposure... this is really what it looks like)... the wind picks up, birds fly away and water buffalo mooan out to their young and begin moving.
Then the lightening begins, like flashbulbs across the sky, followed by claps of heavy thunder and large swollen rain drops, that ploop, ploop at first inches apart and finally in a heavy pour. At this time we know to go check the drains, which very rapidly become clogged and caused rivers of water to come cascading down the stairs from the flat roof and into the second floor, creeping right into my bedroom where my floor mattress just soaks it up like a sponge! What do we do???
We sweep it out of course!
And when that doesn't work we fill buckets with water and throw them over the balcony....
... and when that dosn't work we put our mattresses and things on tables and chairs and play in the water for awhile... say till about 4 in the morning... nothing like and all night puddle party! :)
Then the next day we watch the aftermath from the balcony.
Replay about four times and you have my last few weeks!

Wow, creepy creepy. For monkish people like me that red sky is enough to make me claustrophobic!! Thanks for getting pictures of it. Those are things and places in the world I will probably never get to see!
Waiting... still waiting for more.
