We've been experiencing a lot of thunderstorms of late. I love them, for a number of varied reasons.

We've had thunderstorms for each of the past 3 days and nights, off and on. But there are little thunderstorms that come and go, their bark worse than their bite, and then there are thunderstorms that should be considered harbingers of the motherfucking apocalypse. The latter is what we endured last night.

To go with the torrential downpours, how about a side of hailstones the size of nickles (much like bullet holes the size of matzoh balls!)... Wind that blew the table over and practically put the umbrella through the siding of the house... Thunder that shook the very earth, and lightning that lit the entire sky like nuclear death, for 2-3 seconds at a time... it was unbelievably violent, and amazingly beautiful. Lucky for everyone, the world did not end. The sun rose again this morning. We didn't even lose the electricity.

I'm hoping for more of those today :-)

  1. Fuck thunderstorms...lol

    I've always hated them myself, because usually here in Kansas, thunderstorms are accompanied by tornadoes....And they are a bitch..

    Unfortunatly we have been enduring many of them this week as well... Yesterday we were in the basement for over an hour because there was a fuckin tornado warning in our county... that was annoying... My dogs don't like them either, they start whinning and crying around real bad...grr...getting annoyed just thinking about it..lol

    Oh well...Thats what I get for staying in Kansas..
