I live on the north shore of Oahu and the last two days it has rained late
in the afternoon. What is significant about it is that a strong chemical
smell is associated with the rain. Right before and for an hour or two
after it smells like roach spray, bathroom cleaners, and like a magic
marker pen. My whole family smells it and it makes your stomach hurt. I
could hardly get out of bed for church this morning because I was so
groggy.
