Wowzers! One of the many details the Book of Genesis omits to mention is whether the rain was warm or cold. Last night our deluge was warm. You could have taken all your clothes off and happily run around in it -- for all the good rain gear did.

And, as predicted, the gift came wrapped, special, in thunder and lightning -- a rare treat in Vancouver. Click the images below to enlarge them.
