And the Thunder Rolls
This morning at 6:15am I was startled awake by what sounded like someone dragging a large metal object across the ground over an extremely long distance. Only, it wasn’t a metal object at all, but rather a prolonged bit of thunder. It was actually pretty scary sounding—especially considering that I was asleep and I think even in the middle of a dream.
A bright flash of lightening a little while later confirmed that it was indeed a storm and not some inconsiderate person causing an early-morning disturbance. I can’t even remember the last time it rained here, so I suppose we’re overdue. This is probably just a freak occurrence, as I hear it’s supposed to be sunny again later in the week. However, until then, the thunderstorms are expected to continue throughout the day.
Damn, I guess this ruins my plan to stand in the middle of a large field holding metal objects…

Ah, that’s the kind of glass half-full mentality I like to see! On the way to lunch it dawned on me that I should make sure I find a large field with a single tree. That way if the rain gets too heavy I can seek shelter there! ;)

curious question: is this part of the hurricane aftermath? :)

Today’s thunder and lightning is a bit of a freak occurrence I think, because they are predicting sunny and warmer weather the rest of the week!
California doesn’t get hurricanes, but we do get floods, forest fires, and earthquakes! :)

reason I asked: we usually feel the after effects of huge hurricanes about 1 month after they happen — I can remember the horrible weather we had after Andrew came around!
