been a long time since I've seen rain

There was not enough thunder to cause my bearded collie to need to be medicated

fireworks nearby make me jump out of my skin

from the tropical depression that was in the gulf. but it only lasted, on and off, 20 minutes at the most.

I just stood outside my front door and sort of wept to myself as I watched it.

I find myself, closing the blinds and putting on my headphones and listening to the sounds of a thunderstorm.

I think my wife and I are going to move soon. we have had it here in Texas. The heat is just too much, especially now as we get older.

I've lived in Texas a long time (including Austin).....now I am fed up with Texas weather, and utterly sickened by its politics - using people, children, on buses as political pawns to score points with the cult? It makes me SICK.

A brother in Illinois recently lamented to me they had a day of 110+ degree heat index - I told him, now imagine it has been that way since JUNE and that is TEXAS

Meanwhile, San Diego has had the coldest and wettest winter in a very long time last Winter and has had a below average Summer temp. Everything is screwed up. But, we all know Climate Change is a hoax, at least according to that ass who was on the GQP debates last night. And he is a scientist...

Looks like until the end of the 7 day forecast. Just broke the 3 days of 30c plus we had. Around 90+ for the 5% of the world's population that is in F.

Now it it would only stretch out into the Rhine watershed to keep it from running dry....

Was hoping to be able to go stand out in some rain, but my area didn't receive a drop! It's been so long since we had any.
