it is 6:10 on Friday, Sept 4th, and we have a small, violent cell of rain right over the house... we just had a Flash/Bang! you know, bright flash and BOOM! - it won't be here long, its a little cell, but it sure is packing a punch - I hope it RAINS hard!

Wow! Sounds like quite an event. Down here in the basement we can hear the bangs, but we don't really see the flashes, because we're under ground. LOL But I have had some good views of those things in the past when I lived above ground. Being under here is nice for my husband who tends to get spooked by loud noises. It's like a bomb-shelter down here, so it's OK with him. LOL

well, the roomie and I both like thunderstorms, but we do kind of worry about the other roomie out in the tollbooth

lost tv and computer - heck, even the LIGHTS for a few minutes! At least it wasn't hot in here because it had already been cooled down and its currently cool outside - because of the rain

I sure hope it rains for you as well. You are in a drought aren't you? I hope you get plenty of rain for all around.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15166)   ranked 1 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

yeah, we're in a major drought, and we got some good rain - except, the creek we drain into doesn't go the lakes, they go into the river below the lakes, so, it did help us, but not those poor lakes

Can you send us some of that cell of rain? We sure need it in California. Plus I love rain storms as I will sew by the hour. I can't quite figure out how come I love sewing when it rains, but the two have always gone together for me.

We were talking about lightening storms the other night, and I mentioned about one I had been in when we were in Florida. You know, count the seconds and you know how far away it is...well there was one storm where we had the lightening hit right beside the house. We were too busy crapping ourselves in unison to even bother with counting the seconds. The lightening hit about 6 feet from the house!!! w00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15166)   ranked 1 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

I will not kid you, this was a TINY cell of rain, barely as big as Austin, but it gave us some nice rain - wish I could've sent it over the fire, but the fire would've killed it being so small....

Yeah, I used to stay in a high rise dormitory in college and there were a few nights I woke up 6 inches off the mattress because lightening hit the lightening rod on the roof...

Lol I would have been Flash Bang under the Covers or hiding somewhere lol
I love listening to the rain but Thunder and Lightening I am petrified of lol

I rather like them, but I prefer the lightening a bit further away

Glad u are getting the rain, sounds as if u are to. We are needing rain here to. Of course when it starts here it doesn't usually know when to quit.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15166)   ranked 1 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

lol (doesn't know when to quit) lol

Yeah, we got some nice rain, but the cell was quite small, and while it rained hard it didn't rain as LONG as we needed it


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11175)   ranked 28 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

Glad y'all got some.We haven't yet. My yard hasn't even grown this week so i saved that 20 bucks. rolleyes

Enjoy the drama of it all, but a hard rain won't help much after an extended period of drought. It just makes a mess and the dry earth doesn't hold the moisture.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15166)   ranked 1 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

true - to an extent.. we've had just enough rain lately to soften the earth a bit, so this might've soaked in better than it would've if it had done this first of last month - another bit of good news is that we have water retention ponds that will catch some of this and allow it to sink into the ground...

We had a little flash/bang in the early hours of Friday am. Nice bit of rain but the lightning blew out the computer router. So my daughter had to go by another one. Since she and all but the youngest child went to Houston for the holiday there was no way I or her husband were going to go without internet. LOL!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15166)   ranked 1 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

really - where do you get your routers? we go to a place called Fry's


myLot reputation of 97/100. jillmalitz (3910)   ranked 5 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

Fry's is good. There is not one in Waco. Traci got the new one at walmart.

I love a good storm! Unfortunately, my dog Gus is terrified and he's in my lap the whole time. I sleep better during a storm, I feel better on rainy days. Hope you enjoyed your light and sound show, God certainly knows how to entertain!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15166)   ranked 1 out of 137 in austin texas  3 months ago

didn't last long, but we did have a 5 minute spell with no power - we sat in the front room with one flashlight pointed at the ceiling - just because we didn't want the roomie to move and step on the kitten (who was wandering around on the floor)
