It's cool, I'm a Washington State transplant, and summer storms here are pretty much exactly as you've described. I applaud you for surviving rain-driving. :P

I guess Eastern Washington to the Midwest isn't as much of a stretch, though, geography-wise. I am just like, DEAR GOD GIVE ME MOUNTAINS-- WATER-- SOMETHING THAT ISN'T FLAT AND YELLOWISH D:

I admit, we visited Boston this past summer to see the wife's family, and cried a little when we saw actual bodies of water.
