Storm Viewed from 180 Room

It's not the extremity of the storm that merits mention in this case.
It's the manner in which I experienced it.

I was in the 180 Room (reading about JSTL). It was a perfectly beautiful
day. Sunny. Ground units running around eating twigs and berries.
Neighbors cutting their lawn.

Then a drop. Dismissed. Then two. Then a slight pitter patter.

Still sunny. Just a slight misting. Under the canopy of the trees
barely a drop hit the 180 Room.

And then it slowly increased. Nothing dramatic. Just a slow and
constant escalation of the storm.

Currently there are thunder claps all around. Rain pouring down. Wind
blowing. An amazingly smooth transformation.

Update:
Kablammey! Nice visible flash not more than 1/4 mile away. Turning into
a heck of a storm. I love it!

Update:
Houston, we have hail! Nice one! Hail about the size of nickels...
abnormally shaped. This storm just gets better and better.

Update:
The storm lasted all night. Strong thunder. Strong rain. Big storm. It
all started so simply.
