Thunder and lightning, with hail falling while the sun was also out. It also rained but not too hard.
In 2010 I still remember how it reached 113 downtown, even hotter than the deserts. I still had a very old box type "room" a/c which seemed to be struggling and not helping at all. It was 90 in this crap apartment. I didn't go out. I heard nobody else out and about, not even traffic going by. No one talking, no music. It was deathly quiet and deathly HOT.
13 years ago and I still remember. I was up around 2:30 am, trying to read as I couldn't sleep anyway.
I also remember how in 1997-98, in December I think, it rained for about 14 consecutive days. And HARD too, along with wind. It's unusual to get that much.
One time in the 80's, while driving to school, it was raining so heavily it was hard to see the white lines of the lanes. They just disappeared!
In April of I think 87 or 88, I was at an airshow on a sunny day. Suddenly it got very cloudy, and COLD. The wind picked up and it began to POUR. I mean cats and dogs. Everyone panicked and packed up their stuff, fleeing for cover. Lightning happened too. Of course the airshow was cancelled. That spring storm seemed to come out of nowhere. Someone said to me, before it happened, that "the sky doesn't look right."
