Thunderstorm!

Peoria, Arizona
June 23, 2022 9:41pm CST
We had a spitfire of a thunderstorm. It really didn't last all that long, but I am thankful it happened because OOF it was so hot in here. I even had my AC set to 82, but even my mom said it was really hot in my room for some reason. (Yes...82 is hot for many people, but setting the coolers any lower than 80 is hecking expensive) Even though it was a short storm, it still caused some damage. Our neighbor, we don't know if anyone lives there, but we know people were trying to fix up the house for the last couple of months, and their newly built fence ended up getting blown over! So sad! I guess that means it wasn't built with supports because like more than half of that fence is down. Hopefully, it is an easy fix for them. Thankfully no damage here, I don't think...the roof is still there, so that is what is most important. Monsoon season has officially begun!

That is a strong thunderstorm. I have seen reports about thunderstorms in some states in the US recently. Here, we had a tornado. It is so unusual because it happened i. The crowded city and tornato is not a common disaster here. Whew!

Thankfully we do not get tornados where I am at because of the city. But the monsoons can be brutal.
