First Thunder & Rain Experience

This was the first time Arya had experienced and actually noticed Thunder and Rain. It was a bit loud and scary for him and he ran to my arms. But after explaining what was happening to him a couple times he seemed to actually think it was exciting. I told him the 2 clouds crashed into each other and this sound would come then water would fall from the sky and all of God's creatures and plants would drink to quench their thirsty. The Hot Summer is coming and a long time before they get to drink again. So here is their chance. Then every time he would hear the thunder BAM he'd run to the window and tell me to come and look! We enjoyed watching the shower of rain pouring down and a few birds wiggle themselves in it. He seemed to like that part the best.
We lost cable, tv and phone for a brief few minutes but luckily everything seemed to work again. No power outages but we did hear syrens as they rushed to help whomever it was. Hope all was ok. All in all it was a good experience.

I love thunder storms. Do you guys get them a lot in CA? We have them a bunch in the south all summer.

Just in Spring time for some reason. I like them too. How does Cyrus feel about them?
