Almost every afternoon we have a little thunderstorm with a bit of rain. It gets even MORE humid than normal and you can often see steam rising from the ground once the rain has stopped. It's usually super sunny in the morning, then the storms roll in and roll out quickly, giving us only a few minutes of rain and thunder, but every once in awhile we get a bigger storm. It was 97 degrees yesterday and then last night was the biggest storm yet. It lasted hours and hours and in fact it's still raining and lightly thundering outside. I think it's kind of fun, although the sharp cracks of thunder made my heart beat a little faster and made me grateful I was inside! Several sounded like very close gun shots and the lightning was crazy. Jeremy took a couple of videos so we could remember. Of course it's not the same as being there, but you can get a little of an idea. These are taken from our side door that leads to the carport. Some are with the light on, some are with it off so you get more of the effect with the lightning. They aren't too long. Enjoy!

Oh man, MidWest storms are totally like that too!! We haven't had as many as they usually do here, because of the huge drought (which we're actually having a stake-wide fast for), but they get pretty crazy! I'm always nervous our old apartment building roof is just going to give in one day and collapse on us because the rain is SOO loud! The lightning and thunder is pretty awesome though, definitely cooler than the little baby lightning and thunder in California. :)
Wow that was some fun!!! I think I know why Linda calls living in California the sunshine tax state. It is expensive to live her but we have beautiful weather. Actually I think that looks kind of fun too. I loved Jeremy's face and smile at the end! He is so fun...I miss all of you. Fun blog!
Looks like the storms we get here in FL! I love it.
