Thunderstorms

[sparks19]

Looks like we have a doozy headed towards us In lancaster PA right now. I hate thunderstorms. They scare me. Has anyone else noticed more thunderstorms than usual?

We have had more rainy days than nice sunny days here since summer started. Everyday there is a flood warning or a thunderstorm warning.

Is your area having too much rain or too little rain?

I am gleefully anticipating our predicted thunderstorms for this evening. I LOVE thunderstorms, I always have. AND it will mean at least a temporary surcease of this hot/sticky/icky weather.

I believe we've had more rain and storms where I live in recent years. I too am not crazy about storms, just his past 4th of July we spent part of the evening in our basement as we had tornado warnings! We have had some bad experiences with lightning in recent years also.

I had bad experiences with lightening where we grew up in Virginia so I am as terrified as Chester of the storms. One of the last visits to see my Aunt before she passed away, lightening struck the house next door and set it on fire... So.... you will find me under the bed with Chester when it storms.

Yikes the storm last night was pretty bad. Lot's of thunder and lightning, strong winds and we even got some pretty big hail. I was clinging to my husbands arm the whole time lol. it blew all our patio furniture around and blew the patio table right over and to the end of the patio. Lots of branches fell off the trees and then we lost our cable. Good thing we had just been to blockbuster to rent some movies lol.

Teddy is not scared of storms at all which surprises me because he is such a wimp dog

Any storms anywhere else last night?
