Calor y....Tormenta?!?!

UNBEARABLE heat mid-day today and then....is that lightening? MASSIVE storm later this afternoon! The weather here is so strange. I have never lived somewhere so hot and muggy. The heat would not be so bad if it weren't for the sticky humidity. Usually the temperature ranges in the upper 30's sometimes 40's (thats in and around 100 F). And it starts early too. Actually it never really ends. I woke up at 7:30 this morning to go for a run, trying to beat the heat but its a race you can never win! I woke up with my shirt sticking to my sweaty back. Today I tried to find a cafe with wifi to work on some school work where there would be air conditioning. It was around noon and close to impossible to find a single place open (ciesta time) let alone with wifi. I had to settle for the shopping mall. I was well into my work and a refreshing smoothie when i heard a loud rumble. I could see trees frantically trying to keep root and lightening reflecting off the glass windows of buildings. Boy was I thankful to be indoors even if it was a commercial center with a Burger King, McDonalds and California Burrito....THANK YOU AMERICA AND YOUR GLOBALIZATION. On the bus ride home I saw numerous trees uprooted and smashed signs! crazy.
