Sumer Is A-Comin In, Loudly Sing Yikes!

Thank heavens for the invention of laptop computers. I can sit here, connected via air instead of wire, and amuse myself looking at radar, while one of the loudest thunderstorms of my recent experience bangs and flashes and rumbles and booms overhead.

And wonder, of course, as I count "one-onethouand, two-onethousand, etc...", how people who think in kilometers measure the distance to the lightning by the arrival of the thunder? (So far tonight, my closest was "one-onethou...BOOM!" I may jump out of my skin entirely yet!)

I live about two hours north of you, and we were woken up at about 6:30 by that storm. Good lord, it was LOUD! The lightning was right on top of the thunder, too, like you said.

It was a real corker. I didn't hear the approach, just got wakened by a a flash so bright I could see it through my eyelids, followed a few seconds later by a bang so loud the car alarms went off.

A little too exciting!

That was quite the storm. I'm so glad it didn't wake the bambini.

Good for the babies. It woke up the car alarms near me!

Technology can be a Good Thing, can it not? *Grin*

I remember (growing up in Pennsylvania) waiting all year for summer, and then being frustrated by all the thunderstorms. I hope you survive intact!

I'm terribly afraid of thunderstorms. *hugs*
