Okay, so I've been thinking for a topic to write about in this blog for a pretty long time and I finally found one :D the motherlode of a storm today right here in the city of lights :D
There had been forecasts of heavy rainfall for couple of days now but we haven't been getting more than a light drizzle so I wasn't really expecting a full-blown storm like the one that just broke out over us! Me and my sis were busy watching 'Top Chef: Just desserts' (I'm getting addicted to this show!Its pretty awesome ) when my mum comes in and she's like heavy rainstorm all over khi but no such thing here in our area yet! (She had just come from the balcony after checking so for herself) and the next thing i know, my bro and cuz come running in announcing that its raining cats & dogs!! -and so it was!! :D
The rain was coming down pretty heavy - sheets after sheet! There was deafening thunder and hell lotta wind! I was soaked in an instant! Sure there was the usual flooding of streets and all but it was all part of the magic. The roads looked like small streams as water streaked down them, looking like it was filled with stars as the aindrops pelted down on its surface from above! The trees were shaking to and fro and every once in a while a huge gust of wind would come and all the shutters would bang and flags and banners would flap as if everything had suddenly come alive! Far away a hall, where tarawih prayers are offered every night, was awash with lights hanging from poles that were now being thrown about their wires as the wind collided with them! They looked like huge fireballs!
The rain lasted a good while after which it slowly subsided,leaving the city clear and dust-free! Everything felt refreshed and all new - a perfect gift for the day to come :)
The winds were soo scaryy! And at our place it was nothing less than a horror movie because the lights went out instantly! Should've seen the look on my face. Pure horror. :p
ReplyDeletei was downstairs in my apartment when the scary storm hit our area! Gusty winds and the showers (that every karachite pray for) had already surrounded us with anxiety..
ReplyDeleteThe winds seemed to conglobate soon enough and was hitting everything that came in its way.. Also to add, The electricity wires couldve made human beings the victim.
Everything was so coool and refreshing really after the storm had passed away
