Yesterday we had a great thunderstorm come through our area. I love them and respect them. Please do not ever go under a tree during one. This might seem as common sense, but just this week 6 people were injured and some were killed when they did just that. I’ll never understand that. I do love the storms, but I’m careful of my life And limb. Here at home I get a terrific view of the storms effects. The lightning and thunder, the wind and rain make the trees around our house dance. One dead tree in the back was hollow and broke in half. I felt sorry for the squirrels who lived there. One of my memories of my mom was being with her during a storm. My mother & I would always rush to the windows to see as much as we could. My darling mother-in-law was terrified of the storms. As a girl in Europe she saw flooding and fires caused by thunderstorms. The sight of both going on at the same time shook her and to the day she died she would sit in the middle of the room until the storm passed. My mom grew up where hurricanes were frequent and felt that thunderstorms were just junior league. She relished them. As I said previously, just random musings no great thoughts.
