What is one of your best rainy day memories?

My Cousin Sarah and I got to stay at our Great Grandma's house together, and it was raining, and she told us we didn't have to be cooped up, we could go play in the rain. This was very exciting, because it's not something our parents would have gone for. So we twirled around and leapt in puddles and licked raindrops off rose petals. When we were done our Gran put us in a hot bath, and made us hot tea and treats. She brought out a big bag of costume jewelry and let us go through it, we tried everything on, and thought we were very fancy, and she let us keep our favorite ones.

@RickiTarr I was camping out in the desert at a place called Owl Canyon in the Mojave. It had started raining early in the day and us Scouts played in the rain and the badlands unconcerned until we heard a rumbling and down the nearby dry river bed a flash flood rolled by. Slow, brown, filled with brush and large stones, bank to bank and about 3 feet deep. We watched it move through for a while, kids jumping and clapping, adults serious and packing things up.
@Entropyhed I would love to see a recording of that!
@RickiTarr It looked a lot like this but about 3 times as wide https://youtu.be/wLEw5UUxyZU?si=RQJYi1nMXfRy9ggf
