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).
