I Love Thunderstorms

......real thunderstorms, that is. I've weathered enough personal thunderstorms to last a lifetime.

Today was beautiful outside. Temps in the mid 80s, sun, a few white clouds...just a beautiful day. Then I began hearing a 'rumbling' so I went outside and saw a storm moving in from the west.

Instead of claps of thunder, it sounded more like really big drums being pounded over and over....very spooky. I called Doug and told him it sounded like the hoofbeats of the four horsemen.....and shortly thereafter it hit.

First it was hail the size of marbles, and then it was wind and rain. BIG rain....STRONG winds.

I have always loved thunderstorms since I was a kid, and still do today (as long as I and my loved ones are inside). There is something reassuring (to me) when you can enjoy the safety of being indoors while the weather rages out your windows.

Now I have to go check my garden....I hope it survived.

Cool. Me too. The only problem is I'm absolutely mortified by tornadoes. We haven't had any here in my lifetime, but they're coming. I swear they're coming... *hides in basement closet*

Thunderstorms are one of my favorite things too! There is something earthy, real and sexy about them.

I hope your garden survived!

The weather has been a bit weird around here this year!
