it was a dark and stormy night in keeping it postive

Well one was an afternoon...and there were two of them.

The past two days, we've had hellish thunderstorms. During the one on Tuesday, there was a lightning strike on a nearby park. I like to say it's across the street, but there's another park, a highway and train tracks before the state park that received the strike. Amazingly loud boom! There was so much rain from the north, that my fan stopped working! As hot as it's been!!! It took more than a day to dry out.

Yesterday afternoon, the skies got very dark and the rain poured down from the west. We got a lightning strike in the middle of the block - it seemed to be right outside my window! We're expecting rain again today. I am so glad I'd done my food shopping on the way home on Wednesday.
