Usually I send text messages to Andy from my computer, but yesterday afternoon I sent him this one from my phone:
Rain thunder and power out
The power wasn’t out very long, it was back by the time he got home.
I also received this message from the county emergency management:
Large storm system in the area. Do not cross flooded roadways, stay inside, avoid travel if possible. Please do not call 9-1-1 unless there is an emergency.
I was happy to see the rain again, especially because I could watch it while safely inside.

We even had some sound effects. (I missed the closest, loudest, ones.)

It’s been a long time.
Also, I received this email from Kaitlin this morning:

I will let you know when I have landed.
How cool is that! She’ll be here for the weekend, leave Monday morning. I will write about our visit then.

OH Thank you###~~~~!!!!!
the rain! and sound of thunder! it’s better than ice cream!! xoxoxo
and a Good and Safe flight for Kaitlin! how exciting! xo
I thought of you when i took that video. 😀
Enjoy your company!! And blow some of that rain my way!!!
We really need it, so I sympathize.
It is always nice to get rain. So many areas in the United States need rain!
We really need it, this is a drought area too.
I am smiling as I watched the videos, the storms we get every afternoon rival the moive the Perfect Storm. They are violent, bolts hitting the ground, somes 257 strikes per second, i watched it do that. the winds are hard to stand up in. they put down 1 to 3 inches in 15 to 20 minutes. that is the good part. they don’t last long, although the first day of roofer it lasted 40 minutes. If driving we have to pull over, it sheets down the wind shield. Glad the two of you were safe and got needed rain. NOT good about he power.
We haven’t got that many inches, but I’m blown away by how green things are.
I hope you have a wonderful visit!
Thanks. We did!
Wow, it was really coming down. Loved listening to the sound of the rain.
Enjoy your visit with Kaitlin.
Thanks. We did. 🙂
Rain is good in your neck of the woods. Enjoy your visit with your daughter.
Thanks. 🙂
We bet you were happy for the rain. We had thunderstorms overnight for the past three nights – very disruptive for my slumbler:)
We’ve been lucky about the thunder at night.
I can almost smell that rainfall!
I hope you’re enjoying a wonderful visit with your girl!
We had a great time.
That sound of rain and thunder is delicious! We have had several days of occasional thunderstorms over here too.
We used to have them every afternoon in the rainy season. That was years ago .
watering down the heat, helping the recently parched land – nice
and a visit from Kaitlin, another nice event coming your way….
Yes. 🙂
