Thunderstorms Rock!


Lightning and Thunder everything.

So it’s that time of the year again! For the cats and dogs to come down by the heavens, along with elated bots of flash energy and explosive roars. I, for one, have always enjoyed a good storm. Nothing quite like just sitting at home, looking at the window, wondering how far away each strike is. Counting the time in between (5 seconds to the mile?) Or getting the occasionally lucky one that blows up on in the street, sending a big ripple of concussive sounds right through me. Just love them!

And so last night, we got hit pretty hard. Even had the sirens going off for a bit. The game on tv must have been interrupted half a dozen times with warnings of tornado watches and even warnings in the area. Golf size hail also reported (didn’t see any where I was). Pure spring destruction outside, like some kind of beautiful symphony. And there was me, enjoying every bit of it.

It was awesome!
