Today we had a pretty good storm rip through. Good to be able to turn off the sprinkler system and save some water for a change.
What I enjoyed most of all though was watching the storm come out of the west, over the foothills and into the area.
Intense cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud lightning, the rumble of thunder - first in the distance, then directly over top of the house and then again, in the distance. Like a train bearing down with the whistle sounding.
Staring out the sliding glass door, looking to the west, you couldn't help but be in awe of the show - the stark power display of the lightning.
Reminded me a lot about watching the storms in North Carolina 25 years ago. See http://dawgsof557.blogspot.com/2007/08/lightning-storms-and-shrimp-boats.html
20 minutes of that is a wonderful thing for quieting the mind.
