At Last

We got our thunderstorm yesterday evening. I've been expecting it for weeks. After the first muted flash and long delayed rumble I went into the front room and pulled up a chair and watched it roll by, east to west.  There were four or five lightning bolts like spidery handwriting and a few minutes of very hard rain.

We've had few just like that this summer here in Michigan. I love watching (and hearing) the storms roll through.

Thunderstorms are relatively uncommon over here. I make a point of enjoying them.

Mind you, we never have storms as spectacular as some of the ones I've witnessed in the States.

You should monitor your storm and record it for the TORRO folk. They have an on-line form to fill in.

Torro is new to me- and I had to look it up. I know Terence Meaden from his theories about crop circles. I believe I have one of his books somewhere.
