I did it again.
There was another storm last night. This one was windier and there was more lightning. This time I did it with only one cigarette and no beer. And I got wet this time. It was fabulous.
And I will do it again the next chance I get. And if I still don’t get fried, I’ll keep on doing it. I can’t tell you how exquisite it was to know that we were expecting a storm and not feel that intense anxiety that normally comes…
Desensitization is a beautiful concept, baby!
We watched a big storm tonight (straight-line winds gusting up to 100 MPH), and I got some pics. I’m waiting for my Friday Pic of the Week post for that.
I’m anxiously awaiting our first real good thunderstorm of the year. I do so love them!
Mark and Simon, 🙂
We had storms, too. No power for several hours. I got some picture, but probably not as good as Mark’s.
We had storms too. I didn’t get any pictures nor sit out and enjoy it. But I’m glad everyone else is enjoying the weather. And good job, Linda. I predict storm chasing in your near future 😉
Alvis, sorry to hear your power was out. That’s a drag. How’s le bebe?
Mokker, I must get over to visit you soon. I will. As for the “new” Shins’ song, I was mistaken. The song I heard was Girl Sailor from Wincing. Sorry if I got your hopes up. Here’s a link to the playlist from that day from my favorite station: http://wyep.org/music_programs/index.asp?date=050107
They play some great tunes. Have a good weekend 🙂
I love the sounds of thunder and rain at night. And silly me, I have a CD of “nature sounds” – crashing surf, etc., – loaded on my iPod and there’s a half-hour long thunderstorm . . . the real thing, recorded by some nutty sound engineers. I love falling asleep to it.
Brian, Me too. Except before, the lightning always ruined my enjoyment of it. I have a thunderstorm cd also, never thought of putting it on the iPod… I also love to listen to the ocean, maybe even more. In real life, definitely.
awesome! how did you get here from where you were?
i love storms as well… especially if they have lots of lightning and tons of rain. don’t get the good kind here in bahrain. i miss the ones of texas.
I sat through the rain this weekend also.
Glad to hear that you are finding that storms are actually a beautiful experience.
