Tornado Warning
-
haven't lived through one of these in years. Rain was falling sideways all morning and the wind made it difficult to open the back door. Strange patterns of condensation on some of the windows. Now finally a tornado warning for the next 30 minutes, along with torrential rain pour.
If I disappear and don't check in within the next 30 minutes, assume the worst. Post public condolences and loving memories as you please. No corpse-trolling, please don't alert Dewey to my demise.

Raining cats and dogs here.
I was out at the dog pen feeding my wife's toothless biscuit eater, when we had a lightning strike in the pine thicket next to the pen. I was looking that way, so it was bright, but not blinding (I've been within 50 feet, that's impressive...You can't see for a half-minute or so and my ears rang for hours). Since I didn't quite get out one-mississippi, I'm thinking about a thousand feet away.
It did get my attention.

I intentionally didn't go outside during the worst of it, even though I wanted to. Somehow it smelled like lightning.

I had that experience, and it was also in Louisiana. Right after I got out of the car in Morgan City lightning touched down in the front yard. It makes a lasting impression.

Driving home from work, stopped at a red light. Lightning strike on the telephone pole kitty-corner from me.
Shortly after we moved into the condo, lighting struck the building across the street. Started a small-ish house fire.
Yeah, impressive.
