Lightning Crashes

There was some serious storming activity last night around 1 AM. I woke up earlier because I seem to be having trouble sleeping. Or maybe my brain just knows:

Thunder + Wind = Rain.
Rain + Fans = Possible Electrical Fire.

I get up and shut off everyone's fan. So I was awake as it came on. Lots of bright flashes followed quickly by increasingly loud cracks in the air. Some of them echoing around with another blast coming on the heals.

It woke everyone up and TheBoy had to come sleep with us. Even Kelly had to come and sit in the chair until it passed.

I love summer thunderstorms. There's something so cool about the violent change in weather. Especially during the day, when the sky gets unnaturally dark and the wind goes from zero to sixty in about eight seconds.

It's the one downside to closing in the sunroom. We used to sit out there when a storm came on because an entire wall and half the ceiling was all glass. You could see everything as it happened. A nice chunk of sky to watch.

Now we have to stand at a window or open the front door. Of course last night I was more interested in just trying to get back to sleep. 1 AM is a little too late to enjoy something like that.
