Day 240: Thunderstorms

Hello again,
I would like to apologize for not posting last night-I was actually preoccupied with thunderstorms. lol Wow yesterday was quite the day for thunderstorms. We had one in the afternoon that was rather severe which are the storms I don't like. We had nickle and dime size hail, heavy rain and very loud thunder. Amazingly the flowers were not really seriously damaged except for the irises! So I am so extremely thankful for that! Then last night we had another storm and it was quite the light show. It lasted for a very long time it seemed and I was watching the lightning streak across the sky. The thunderstorms I am thankful for are the ones with the distant rumbling thunder and no hail. I love being able to sit on the veranda during an afternoon thunderstorm (that isn't severe) and listen and watch the storm pass by. There is something so neat about them. I suppose the severe storms can be exciting as well where we hear the big cracks of thunder that shake the house. I don't know why that is exciting to me though so I really can't explain the appeal I guess. I recently discovered that thunderstorms don't happen in Los Angeles and thought that is sad and people are missing out because I think that thunderstorms are really neat. So I suppose that makes me thankful I live somewhere that thunderstorms are common. Thanks for reading my blog!
