There’s a furious thunder and lightening storm going on right now.
It started about half an hour ago when I was trying to complete a post on another one of my sites. I kept saving the post in case the power went out – again! The power always seems to go out here when there’s a bad storm.
The wind picked up so fierily when the storm first started that it blew the lids off of two of our garbage containers in the driveway and other items flew to the end of the drive as well.
I actually thought that it might turn into a hail storm.
I took some photos of the rain coming down, but I think I’ll post them later when I’m sure the power won’t fail as I’m transferring. I don’t want to mess up my memory stick!
It was something like 31 Celsius when the storm hit, and with humidity it was about 37 Celsius … in case you don’t know your metric temps that’s very very hot! It’s now cooled down to 20 Celsius! (about 70 F). That’s quite a drop in a short period of time isn’t it?
It’s actually going to be on the cool side tonight and tomorrow will be a reasonable summer day temperature wise.
The rain has slowed now, but I can still see lightening and there’s the occasional crash of thunder in the distance. It could come back.
I hate storms in case you can’t tell. Especially when they happen as I’m trying to get some work done.
Go away storm!
I would really love to have a storm like that right about now. It’s 105 and as dry as the desert 😉 HAHAHA!
Jules I can imagine that you need some rain to cool things off, but you wouldn’t have wanted to be in the storm that we had. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was in the center of a really bad storm. Trees came down all over the neighborhood crushing houses! I’m going to write a post about it with some photos soon.
I’m just glad our house and yard are free of damage.
