Pigs And Cows
We have some amazing thunderstorms here, and they come out of nowhere. From blue sky to deluge in 6.2 seconds (or there abouts). I love them, always have - don't remember ever being afraid of thunder or lightning, just remember always wanting to watch it and sleep with the windows open.
Our storms are so cool Lori even picked it as her Happiness for today. I would normally agree with her, despite the fact that my garage, patio and workshop all flooded.
Unfortunately, SG's work can be adversely affected by the weather, and last night was the one night that it couldn't rain....but it did. Monday night, no problem, tonight, no problem - last night, BIG problem. So it made for a very unpleasant night for him, and possibly an expensive one. It might have been even worse if we hadn't gone out for ice cream and seen the storm, we were all comfy, cozy and unaware - and no one bothered to call him and tell him there was a problem. The forecasters had issued severe weather alerts in Northern and Eastern Arizona, but not here.
My plants may be happy but my yard is a mess again, and SG got clobbered. Not a good storm
