Not related to Darwin yet, but will get the hopes up all the same for some cool rain.

Post 43

Damnit OD, if you're cursed why do you live so close to me!? :p

Was driving back home and there was some awesome lightning strikes. Was getting very anxious for a big storm to hit... *sigh*

Lot of idiots surfaced during that brief period of rain.
