There was hail bouncing off the deck along with the rain . It was actually pretty cool ; the last time I saw a real thunderstorm was probably four years ago , before I moved to California . It seems that even when we get rain ( which is rare ) , it just rains . No cool weather to go along with it .

Question: Why was I so pleased with the thunderstorm , hail , and rain ?
Answer: California gets a lot of rain , but not a lot of storms .I love watching storms but I have n't seen any since I moved .I was happy to play outside in the rain and cool air .I was glad that we would finally get rain for the plants .
