Thunderstorms? Yeah. They're real down here. Didn't take me long to learn to take along an umbrella on my walk even if the sky looks fair. My walks are usually about 1.5 hours long and a lot seems to be able to bow up in that time. One time I was out for my walk and a storm blew up about a half hour before I'd get home. Bowing to the inevitable, I just took off my shirt and kept on going. The guy at the gate house saw me and said with a grin, "did you forget something"?

"Yeah", I replied. "A bar of soap".
