Thunder Outside

my new touch lamp

It has been thundering quite a bit outside, but no rain that I have noticed. The sky was quite dark a little while ago, but it's sunny, now, so I think the storm is moving away. I kind of like hearing thunder, especially at night, but I always worry we may lose power. However, if that happens, I now have a new lamp that I can use that has a rechargeable battery. It is touch operated; you just tap it to turn it on and off, and it has three light settings - a low, yellow glow for nighttime, a bright one for reading, and kind of a light peach color that I guess is supposed to be like natural light. Here's a picture of that one so you can see what I mean.

I've got nothing like that. If the power goes out I'm screwed.

I love rechargeable lamps because I could bring it anywhere. I have one for two years now and still working fine. Three light settings too and it's cool to just tap it when you want to turn it on and change the light settings.

Same here. I hate it. The thunder is upping my anxiety. Not much rain at all. That is a nice lamp.

I have that same fear of losing power when the thunder and lighting are in the area that the power will be out for a while.

Losing power is always my concern. I do not want to get caught in excessive heat without a way to cool off. Those four days at the beginning of July with no power stick out in my mind. It made me physically sick.

That's a handy lamp to have. I love listening to thunder too but mostly you have to take the good with the bad and put up with the lightning as well.
