damn! i just LOVES me some late afternoon Thunder Storms!

:bounce:

boom, boom, boom

and we REALLY need the rain!

yyyyyyaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

I was not so patiently waiting for the first thunderclap. I hope it's more than a shower!

:bounce:

that the length of the storm actually can be determined by the downpour?

The heavier the rain, the shorter the duration of the storm. I don't know why this is, but it was something I learned quite some time ago. It doesn't work all the time, but it's ahead of the probability curve.

than it was last weekend :)


I kid. I have no problems with rain (especially if it helps fill in the ponds over at Great Meadows again so the birds will start hanging out longer for me to take pictures of :)

humidity is supposed to be non-existent by the weekend

They were here in W. MA around 1:30-3...heavy rain, good wind, lost power for an hour or so

stress on the nerves being all alone in the woods with too many trees around the house.

There was one here about 45 minutes ago. Enough already!

But, down here they get really, really violent. Sometimes a tad scarier than I would like.

Must be a huge system.

Apparently the storm front hasn't made it downtown yet.

It will probably coincide exactly with my trudge home :spray:

pretty slow mover my guess

We had a big, big, BIG thunderstorm blow in the other day. It was a nice sunny afternoon then this big purple malicious looking bastard blows in. It just had that beautiful classic anvil shape that proper thunderstorms are supposed to have. When it loomed over us, you could literally FEEL the storm on your skin. I guessed it was a massive change in barometric pressure, but not having a barometer it was just a guess.

Anyway, I went to get a beer from the fridge. We had a half watermelon in there, covered with saran wrap. I open the fridge door and watermelon juice was just pouring out literally. Juice and seeds everywhere, the "meat" was just falling out of the rind.

I'd never seen anything like that before.

That's trippy!

I can't remember the last time it rained here. :(

:hi:

If I watered like I should, I'd go broke. My poor lawn. :(

But hey, at least my flowering plants are drought-resistant.

Heavy rain, hail and wind so strong that it uprooted a 25+ year old tree on Franklin avenue.

on my walk back to school, too bad I'll be IN school when the fun really begins

Nothing like a mid-afternoon Texas thunderstorm. And the smell....cordite and wet grass.

:woohoo: :bounce:

:D

Okay that was good-very funny

Did I mention that I am currently sitting in a Jello mold?






That felt like a tangeriiiiiiine!!!

It's been humid all day and the clouds are looking pretty menacing.
