Since I grew up in the near-in suburbs, I never "saw" rain like this....until he took me west. I remember, like it was yesterday (I was 8 years old), driving through the flat, wide open plain states, with not a tree in sight. Off in the distance, I would see these huge blots of gray and he explained that was rain falling. I was amazed by that....because my experience with rain was just that it falls on top of you! And so whenever I can "see" rain storms I think of that trip, back to his "homeland." It definitely became one of my favorite sights. This was a storm that I spotted from DC, that was clearly falling across the river, in Virginia.
