My husband K and I have the weirdest ability to make it rain wherever we go. It rained (a bit) on our wedding day, it rained on our short honeymoon on the 'sunshine island' where it never rains in the summer, it rained in all the cities we passed on our way home to Budapest. It didn't rain on our real honeymoon in Croatia - but in return we had forest fires right behind our hotel. It rained in Lisboa in Spring, on Iceland in the driest month of the year (add a snow storm to that) and it rained like it would never stop when I moved to Atlanta. It rained when we traveled through Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia and it even rained when we were in the Dominican Republic many years ago. One of the worst thunderstorms (killing and injuring many people) hit Budapest on our engagement day on 20 August 2006.
And now that we have come to Kuwait we had crazy thunder and lightning with flashes lighting up our rooms and lightning that filled the entire sky. When the rain came pouring down and the winds swept across the city, it sounded like our windows were going to burst. Luckily they didn't but we did wake up about 20 times during the night. Apparently the locals had not seen anything like it in a long time. Good thing is that the desert plants should blossom after the rain - I hope I get a chance to go out into the desert to see the little flowers before it all gets extremely hot and dry.
