We have had more storms this year than I can remember. And they are very violent storms. Lots of lighting. In fact the lighting is what really stands out. We have had more hail this year than I can remember in the past three years. The power has gone out a few times. We had a tornado (maybe) that did extensive damage to the neighborhood. I am all for a nice thunderstorm, but this is getting ridiculous.

So do I, but these storms aren’t what we usually get. They are dangerous.

I like the dangerous, high wind, lightning storms.

But too much of a good thing isn’t a good thing anymore.

The other problem is I can’t run outside when there is lighting.
