Last night at 9:15, I was on the computer when I noticed that the rain was pounding the side of the house. I walked out to the front door and could hardly open it because of all the rain. But the craziest thing was the lightning and the thunder, they never stopped. The thunder just kept rolling and the sky was continually lit from the lightning, it was almost as if a strob light was going. In Arizona, we get some pretty intense storms but they come as quick as they go, most lasting 10 or 15 minutes at the most. Well, we had thunder and lightning for over an hour and ended up with .6" of rain and the rain only lasted about half that time. It was a little scary but I loved it and ended up getting an umbrella and heading outside to get a better look at the sky (not sure what that says about me - electrical storm and I head out with an umbrella). Of course an umbrella doesn't do much good when you look straight up!

OH! I miss monsoon storms. We get rain in Columbus, but nothing like the Thunder and lightening of Arizona!
Hi Bonnie!
Its your long lost cousin Wendy(Greer) Skousen. Was blog stalking and saw yours on Kandra's site.
We got a storm like that this past week that flooded alot of homes in our neighborhood. Loved the video, Dave and I love to sit on our front porch and watch the lightning show too.
Jump over to my blog sometime, love to hear from you.
Wendy
Oh my gosh! That was totally crazy! I'm glad I wasn't there, I would have been shaking silly!
