Thunder Boomers

Thanks to Hurricanes Cindy and Dennis, we've had some great thunderstorms. When the weatherman says to take cover, I'm inclined to open the garage door so I can watch the storm.

As a kid I sat on the front porch during storms, but our porch here is too small to stay dry.
I enjoy the sound of the rain falling, especially a hard rain. Thunder and lightning make it fun. In the mountains it sounds like the thunder is rolling around - you can hear it coming and going like a train whistle.

After the storm is over the air smells clean and fresh.

But now they say our weather pattern is changing so it won't be as stormy for a while. Oh well, all the lakes in the area are above summer pool so I guess it's ok to dry out a little.
