Amazing Thunderstorm

That's my state for you. It was cloudy yesterday, and so I was indoors (I could have done something outside actually, but didn't want to). After lunch, I came down to the computer. A short while later I heard a really loud thunder um....thunder blast? Crack? Thunder boom? I told the people I was chatting with I might have to go. I was in the process of shutting down (hesitant about closing a video that had taken 2 hours and was only uploaded 51%), when another loud thunder ____ was heard. Dad called me upstairs.

 

I went upstairs to see what he wanted, without shutting down. He only wanted me to watch the storm. Another even louder blast was preceded by lightning, but only by a fraction of a second. This was close, lighting up the whole sky. Then it started hailing. How it can hail when the lightning is heating the air I don't know. It was bouncing off the trampoline a few feet. Looked like popcorn being made. The street was a river, which is rare in this state.

 

Going outside to check on the non-functioning rain gutter, my dad and I felt a warm breeze. Sun came out. Shortly after (by the time I'd restarted the comp) it started again. It's amazing fast-change weather in this state usually, but that was just amazing. Not good that it started two fires though (or at least the siren went off twice during the storms).

You're lucky. Here in Oklahoma we have had nearly nonstop rain... I havn't gotten anything accomplished this summer because of it. This weekend was the only dry weekend I have seen for a while, but the rain is supposed to start up again tommorow.

"The weather in Ithaca can go from cloudy to sunny to rainy to hailing skittles in a ten-minute timespan."

 

 

I doubt you live in Ithaca, but it fits nontheless.

Frakin: Yes, quite fitting.

NP: Yes, yes.

Xanis: Better than nonstop fire, if you think about it

 

Update: It turns out that one of the lightning strikes hit the courthouse. Three blocks away.
