Re: Thunder

This week we have had some really awesome storms.  They are more
violent and lightening...brighter than I have ever seen...Please be
careful!  The rain amounts.  Well one did give us about 1.5 inches in
30 minutes.... but not a significant amount on any other days.  Fires,
branches, trees, houses all getting hit so where thunder you know
there is lightening somewhere!!!  Temps a reasonable mid 80s!  Thank
you!!!
