Re: OMG - it's weather!

Oh wow...my dog hides (or attempts to hide - she sticks her nose under the bed or sofa and thinks her whole body is covered -silly thing) when storms like that come around here.  Sure hope you get to feeling better soon.  A three day weekend came at just the right time it sounds like.

floating around the weather service will broadcast that horrid screeching 
noise on the weather channel and tell you a SEVERE thunderstorm warning is 
in effect for your area, yada yada, but when there actually IS a dangerous 
storm.....nothing. The weather channel had a cloud with a few rain drops 
coming out of it for "my area." The thunder was literally coming at the same 
time as the lightning and shaking the house, while I of course was on the 
floor consoling my pack as they all shook and panted. It went on for a good 
1/2 hour with the thundering and pouring of rain. But, at least I won't have 
to water tomorrow. I have a nasty cold and all I want to do is go to bed.
