6. Mother Nature is One Bad Madre

I didn't post yesterday due to a power outage. The reason: a storm like no other. I don't think I've ever experienced such a massive storm; the thunder and lightning from behind the mountain looked more like Mordor than Hawaii. It was raining so hard, thundering so loud, and...lightnening? so brightly that I woke up in the middle of the night. It must have been right over my house, the rain falling with a fury like no other, as if Zeus had just caught Hera with a lover. (Hera, you slut.) At one point, a flash of lightning seemed to strike the school behind my house or a neighbor's house. You could feel the electricity in the air. I was terrified and fascinated at the same time, and couldn't stop wondering what it would be like to be struck by lightning.

Oh, to be on Mount Olympus (or at least be a demi-god).
