1: 0:00:00 (when it wants to rain the clouds come) 2: 0:00:36 (when it wants to rain clouds cover the sun) 3: 0:01:00 (it comes whenever) 4: 0:01:28 (when its going to rain its windy) 5: 0:01:43 (he doesn't know) 6: 0:01:51 (it just happens) 7: 0:02:06 (when it rains, lightning first then thunder) 8: 0:02:30 (I think he says that it happens when the lightning thinks about coming. He's scared of thunder and lightning, it hits trees, possibly people. He doesn't know of someone hit by lightning. If someone has a hevi they might get hit) 9: 0:02:55 10: 0:03:47 (he calls it nononn pigot)
