Last night we had another storm. The wild thing about the storms in SC versus what we experienced up north? The lightning is wicked down here. Seriously. Last night after I put CootieBoy to bed I settled on the sofa to watch tv when out of nowhere, lightning and thunder went off simultaneously. And it sounded like it was in my backyard. It was THAT loud and bright. And it came out of nowhere – it was the FIRST lightning of the night. After a few more strikes I went through the house and turned off lights, turned off tvs, just general put the house into “quiet” mode, hoping that the lightning would ignore our house since we were being so good. *lol*
What’s even more strange? Once the rain started, it was never a heavy rain and we didn’t seem to get that much actual precipitation.
The thunder and lightning storms are the ONLY thing that make me regret not having a basement to escape to during bad storms.
I love living in L.A., but I really miss thunderstorms we used to get in Memphis. Whenever it rains out here now, I have to go out and walk around in it. Though if it was a thunderstorm, I’d, you know, probably stay inside.
