I usually love a good thunderstorm, but the one this morning about 5:30 was a terror! It parked itself directly overhead and didn’t move for far too long. Continuous lightening and thunder, so close that you could smell the ozone and the sound of the thunder so loud it filled the room to the point where it seemed to squeeze out the very oxygen. I was curled up in such a tight ball, but still managed to flinch myself even tighter every time the thunder boomed more ferocious than I’ve ever heard it. My window was open and it didn’t sound like rain outside, it sounded like I was standing behind a waterfall.  Just a vicious storm. We ended up with 3 1/2″ of rain. Of course, flash flood warnings all over the place, not surprising.

Once the storm finally began moving away, I found myself feeling sorry for those under it as the sound of the thunder began to fade into the distance. I fear as strong a storm as it was, it likely didn’t weaken as it moved along.

After getting virtually no rain for so long and then in three days the beginning of last week getting 5 1/2″, then another 3 1/’2″ last night…just weird.
