Thunderstorms

[ramanth]

Thunderstorms rolled through MI Monday evening. Where my parents are camping tree limbs fell and damaged trailers and vehicles, tents were ripped away and one pop up camper ended up wrapped around a tree.

No one was seriously hurt though and the campground was without power for awhile. My parents and their trailer made it through without a scratch.

I love summer storms but hate the destruction.

We have gotten too little rain. I love thunderstorms, so, I'd gladly welcome one or two soon!

You're in Lancaster? We're in Reading. Yes, the sky is all grey and icky. Last night's storm was a doozey.... looks like anther is looming right now. Did you see the rainbow around 8:00 last night? Wow, have we had some storms this summer!

I didn't notice the rainbow but yeah you are not far from us at all yeah it doesn't look very friendly out. Haven't you noticed a lot of storms lately? Seems everyday there is some kind of warning on TV. Did you get any of that flooding a few weeks ago?

We got them in CT as well. We had a big one to the north of the house...it put on a really good light show that I enjoyed from the porch....but then it shifted south and it was like a disco, it looked like strobe lights going off everywhere....that's when I decided to hide under the covers. The lighting set off my phones several times and the thunder rattled our house so badly tht it set off my house alarm.

You mean the flood in the attached photo? We were lucky - we're on high ground but only a few blocks away, the river was raging!

I'm so tired of rain and tunderstorms! They keep the customers away from work... and when there's no customers, its b-o-r-i-n-g! Though tonight can be slow since they begged me to work in the fish dept. I HATE working over there because I feel so inept and stupid. I simply know how to catch fish and bag them - don't ask me any more question than that! LOL

wow

We missed the flooding too. the only thing was all the rain pooled in the driveway and then leaked into the basement Not bad though. a couple of towels and it was all good.

Yes I am sick of the warnings, the cloudy skies, the rain, the storms, the GLOOM. It's summer. isn't it supposed to be sunny?
