Boy we had some weather come through last night with a light show that would have impressed Doug Thompson of Blue Ridge Muse. We had lightning that appeared to jump from cloud to cloud causing the air to rumble and the whole sky to light up for what seemed forever. We had great bolts of lightning that came straight down with a mighty crash-bang-boom and a brief bright flash of light. It rolled through for hours but surprisingly left little rain. This was the big low that caused so much damage in Kentucky and further points west and north. I don’t know what damage it caused around here I haven’t turned on the radio or TV but nothing in my immediate area seems to have suffered any. Storms like that are amazing in their beauty and fierceness. I wanted to stand out in the yard and watch the light show but feared the possible consequences of such an action and instead watched from my window. Storms like that are usually caused by two opposing fronts that collide. This time the cold front won pushing our warm weather aside for a little while. There will be more storms after all it is April and “April showers bring May flowers” of course around here we always lose a few trees and roofs along the way.
