It's 9:30 in the morning, and outside's raining like hell. And I left the window to my room open... So far I've noticed the rain going in two different & opposite directions. What's the chance that they're parallel with my room window ?!

High as yellow.

Phanto: Meaning ?!

And I just saw two superb lightnings, one across the sky, one apparently hitting the ground somewhere. Make that three...

It's soooo dark, you'd say it was late in the evening ! Guess I won't need those sun glasses after all...

You *of all people here at hatrack* don't get an explanation.

Phanto: Huh, why's that ?!

Anyway, I figured that if it's like the danger alerts, then 'High as yellow' would mean quite high. I sooooo wish it were true ! There's an old computer monitor just under the window, fortunately not plugged in, unfortunately, not covered either...

You must be in the storm we had last night. Pretty big one, with a lot of wind and thunders, right ? I unplugged quasi everything in the appartment.

Anna, that must be it. It has passed now, but I learned from someone who was at the campus at that time that it rained there too... I work pretty far away from there, but after seeing the extent of the clouds I was already sure about it.

Memories: The first time it rained in my room in Rouen I let the bathroom window open, and well, it washed all my dirty cloths. If only I would have thought to put some detergent on them before the rain...

You're on the computer in a storm?! [No No]

Yeeeeeeey ! I got home and guess what ? No water in the room, none at all ! (discard the fact that my body is mostly water, that's not important for this subject...)

Eruve: Well, my internship is in a hospital, I'm sure they have a more secure electrical system than usual.
