Observations on the Storm

We've got a killer storm going on here in AL. We're sitting here eating ice cream and watching the weather and the lightning and rotation look very sinister on the radar. The sirens are screaming, but it's not really raining. The storm is getting really bad about 40 miles north-northwest of us.

We spent the evening with my mom at dinner, and working on a new skill/craft. About 10 minutes from home, the clouds thickened and the cloud to cloud lightning really picked up. I made an interesting observation from the lightning that can be applied to life.

When lightning strikes in the dark, you see absolutely everything for a split second. Then you see absolutely nothing for another split second. Then, everything suddenly comes back into focus.

I'm really glad you guys have avoided the bad tornadoes this year. Freaky. I totally don't miss tornado season, which in Alabama is pretty much all year long. Ya'll hang on to your hats ya hear.
