Summer Storms
Jul. 19th, 2006 11:04 pmMonday/Tuesday sucked just a bit.
Monday afternoon, a big storm cell skirted right past us, walloping the counties immediately to the north.
By Monday night, the second line of storms got a little beefier, and they drove right through us like a Mack truck. Power died obediently at 2130 and then we were in for a show. Lightning flashed about every .5 seconds constantly for over an hour, which lit the house interior in some kind of fierce, eerie craziness. Enough to put my wife in a seriously grumpy mood.
Tony, amazingly, slept through most of it. He halfway woke up screaming at one point, and seemed hard to comfort... but at one point we just laid him down in his bed and he sniffled and fell back to sleep. Dunno what that was all about.
After Tarri went to sleep, I went and sat in the garage to watch the lightning. The rain had stopped by then, for the most part, and some of my neighbors across the street were doing the same thing. By then, most of the lightning was going cloud-to-cloud, at times skittering along the underside of the clouds in spectacular fashion. I tried to snap some pictures, but, predictably, they turned out like a bunch of nothing in a pool of nothing.
Our power stayed out until, I kid you not, ten minutes after we left for work in the morning. So last night we were back here, turning things back on and resetting all our clocks.
Now if I could just hear from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maeuschen and misssavie since they were up in an area that got trashed.
