The past couple of years were really disappointing for me. The few storms I remember passing through were too far in the distance to be very exciting and none were worthy of a midnight drive or even sleepless night of window gazing.
It felt like it had been forever since we had a truly inspiring thunderstorm.
Then it happened! The 'storm of the century' hit two Sundays ago, and wouldn't you know it? I was out of town!! ...and to add insult to injury, the next morning I was ruthlessly tormented on Facebook with story after amazing story and countless, unbelievable photographs.
I tried not to express my disappointment too aggressively, considering the fact that I was visiting my mom. I didn't want her to feel that I would rather have seen that storm than spend an extra night with her, because that's not true, but I'll tell you, I was really, REALLY bummed out!
It turns out that that storm was just the beginning of a long, awesome series of pretty decent storms, though, and last night I finally got to experience a window-gaze-worthy exhibition.
Here's to more beautiful, summer thunderstorms! Bring 'em on!
(Minus crop damage and wildland fires, of course!)
