Yesterday morning we were awakened at 6AM with pounding on the tin roof and loud thunder in the distance !  Honestly, we were not surprised as the weather forecast called for downpours and thunder. Well, during monsoon season this would be  normal, but in our total of 6 months in two trips to Amdavad, this was a first for us.  There are no drains in the streets so water just stands until it evaporates

The whole world appears to be in unusual weather patterns, including monsoon like rains out of season in India !  I am ever so thankful, though that it  was  not feet and feet of snow and below zero temperature!

Even this morning, water is still puddled on the streets,  more than 24 hours later !
