Tropical Storm!

[dwgm]

When I read erinya's post about an interesting storm down in San Diego yesterday, I said to myself, "Bzuh?", eyeing the sunny fall weather we were enjoying. Then, at about 1:40 A.M., weemonkey6 came and woke me up: "Mom! Did you hear the thunder?!" And sure enough, the storm had come up from the south, thunder and lightening and bursts of fat tropical raindrops. Everything is nice and clean and sweet-smelling this morning, cloudy and warm, and reminding me of the way the air feels in January on the Mexican Riviera.

What a lovely surprise!

I think we may be in for more storm yet. Yay!

We had thunder and lightning in the middle of the night too. It was extremely loud and bright--I stood at my window and watched huge bolts crisscross the sky to the west of me. Truly spectacular. Kept me awake, though--I'm sleepy this morning.

Yay, indeed! I love thunder & lightening -- so unusual in this part of the world. The clouds are beautiful, and fast moving -- the sky's changing all the time. Great storm to end the summer with!

So that's what's going on! I just heard thunder outside, as well. There it goes again! *unplugs laptop* Rats. Today is park day, too. Well, we're not made of sugar; we won't melt in the rain.
