Yesterday afternoon we had quite a storm. Electrical storms are not too frequent where I live, but yesterday we were hit with at least three huge loud claps of thunder and lightning. The electricity blinked once and then we had a lighter clap of thunder more distant. It was quite loud to say the least, and I was glad to be indoors when it hit. Since it was during the day and I was indoors when it hit I didn't get a chance to see the lightning bolt other than catching it in my peripheral vision.
The rain was nice as it cleared the air and the ground was too dry so it was good to have the rain, but yikes -- the thunder and lightning storm in the bay was quite an event and it would not have been a good time for anyone to be out on the water.
Treasure!
