There is really nothing like a tropical rainstorm. When blue sky darkens before your eyes and and the rain comes down so hard that it seems like your little island in the sun might be sinking into the sea. The thunder isn't distant like at home - it's all around you, intense, personal.
There is rarely a sharp divide between indoors and outdoors here. In the relative shelter of the law campus's open-air food court, the walls and the conversations and my last-minute readings faded against the power of the storm.
