Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head...or not!

Holy hell...it rained last night!!! Normally, I can sleep through anything. The sounds of gunfire off in the distance, the boom of a vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), helicopters flying less then 200 feet above the CHU, etc. But when the rain began to fall and ping against the CHU roof, it was a new sound that we haven't heard since we got here. It made me and my roommate sit up and take notice. Confused the heck out of us for a short while, but eventually we figured it out. It WASN'T falling rounds from celebratory fire. It was life giving rain!

Of course, it rained about 2 minutes and promptly stopped, and 5 minutes after that...the ground was dry again!!
