So my daughter has been telling me every few days that there had been thunder. But each time by the time the window is opened the thunder is gone and no more to be had. That has happened twice in the last couple of weeks. I was so disappointed. But finally tonight we went through the usual steps and I heard the second clap this time. There have been about seven total. A good energetic storm. The smell of rain now. What a lovely time. Ope, there's another loud one. Now that's how spring is supposed to be. Oh, it's coming down in sheets now with one Crack after another. Thank you Mother Nature.

Glad you are enjoying a good storm. I am going to get the family room moved around soon so I can watch the lightening easy. Right now my back is to the bay window

That's what we had from the middle of last night until just a little while ago. Lightning, thunder and sheets of rain.

I love a good thunderstorm only when I’m snuggled up in the house.
