I Remembered When...

Last night I was at the computer, looking out the window and watching it storm. I remember as a child when we had thunderstorms, after the lightning struck we would count before the thunder would come. I guess however high you counted, was how far away the storm was from you. Well, last night when the storm blew in and the lightning struck, you didn't even have a chance to start counting when you heard and felt the thunder!!

Did you ever count in between the lightning and the thunder as a kid? ~Peace~ photo courtesy of bing public domain images

I still do. My husband told me that if I could count over 10, then the tempest was in the mountains and not to worry
