There are some powerful storms afoot

I got back here mid afternoon, and it was super hot and oppressively humid. Of course it was nice in the house with the AC on. However, it got dark as night and started thundering about half an hour later. It was thundering for hours and just started raining heavily about 15 minutes ago. It is hard to say how long they will last, but hopefully there are no dire consequences. I am sure if I had the local channels on they would be warning of severe thunderstorms.

I hope you and Nico will be nice and safe. The last few nights we had thunder, lightning, and rain, but we didn’t have anything severe. Which is surprising in July.

Last night Nico was scared by the thunder and started to climb into my lap. Unfortunately, since I was wearing short jammies and my legs were bare I couldn't let him stay there. He was poking me with his claws,, trying to get comfortable. So eventually I got him off and he laid down by my feet. He doesn't usually come to mommy for protection, but I guess he was worried.

@rakski I am not sure what it is doing right now. I hear thunder. If it is raining, it is slight at the moment,,,but there may be more storms.

I hope everything is okay there... We had heavy clouds earlier but they've all cleared off and the humidity dropped from 100% to 46% now. The RealFeel also dropped from 99F to 88F now... That feels much nicer now.

I am not sure if we will see any more sun today. It looks like it is about 8:30 PM. I suspect the flood areas will flood.

Stay safe. Last night was very windy, and it rained the whole night, that is why I turned off the electric fan, it's so cold!

I hope that you remain safe. It was so humid here this morning that it rained, lightly on and off for most of the morning. It has turned dark here just in the past few minutes, I think that storms might be moving in here also.

I kind of think we will be dealing with various storms all evening. There is a lot of rain out to the West.
