The fiancee and I watched 4th of july fireworks through a steady downpour from the fourth floor of a five floor parking garage, which gave us a clear (albeit distant) view of the light show above Austin’s Town Lake.

Normally, I’d say that rain on the 4th of July sucks. In this case, though, the heavens treated us to a rather spectacular lightning show that pretty much make the human-made gunpowder version pale by comparison.
