June Thunder

[tj_rowe]

Wa, I didn't realise how much I rely on the Internet until our electricity cut out this morning (meaning that my cpu had to run scandisk before it would work now -_-;;).

I also realised just how loud thunder is! I was sitting by the half-gate door (the lightest place in the house with the top open) while the rain came down, and when I stuck my head out to see the lightning (not as daft as it sounds, we're in a vally), the sprites (would you believe that that's an actual scientific term?) went right above me in the clouds and the thunder was right overhead.

I can see why the Old Folks thought it was a big man in the clouds, yelling at them. I half believed it myself.

We live on a hill, so pretty much anything works as a lightning rod. Trees, lampposts, people... -_-;;

We do have very large lightning rods on top of the houses, but the lightning obviously didn't like any of them that day.

Note to self: Stay in vally during storm. -_-;;
