Been raining on and off here all afternoon, had some nice thunder here a little bit ago but it didn't last.
Was at the girlfriend's place yesterday... freakin torrential downpour, I ran outside to cover up the hay and when I got back inside literally a couple min later I was soaked to the bone.

I watched the lightning show until the hail started. So about 20 or 30 minutes of awesome lightning and thunder!

What part of the Springs?
I thought for sure there would be a funnel cloud last Friday, but none showed up.

He's north, in Black Forest
Luckily the ED at Saint A's wasn't busy so I got to hang out in the bay and watch the show.
Til the hospital got nailed and lost power for about a half a second...

my trees were going nuts, hurricane looking winds and rain the way it was moving. my little dog was scared shitless.
I turned everything off and unplugged it thinking we were going to get hit or a serious surge but luckily that never happened.
all quiet again now!
Last night up here in the mountains I looked north and saw nothing but continuous flashes on the horizon (not much visual on the individual bolts themselves) and I swear it looked and sounded like a firefight going on in the distance. Kinda cool looking, but all this stormy weather has me bummed, I want to go camping this weekend but not sure what nature has in store.

I was sitting inside posting on this thread and my own, and all night long my driver side window was all the way down!
Car is all dried out now, but I'm sun burnt from spending all day with the stupid sunroofs taken out.

I live in a townhouse and all the other units have outdoor patios attached to the kitchen. Well, the previous owners decided to enclose it and make it part of the kitchen. Looks nice, but the tards that built it were... well, tards. Now it leaks.
Oh, and I'm soaked to the bone from blowing a u-joint on the way home and having to redneck it. Lovin life right now.

Nope, you and your "twin in hockey gear" have tied for the quarter.

After crossfit, krav, and sparing.. I was entirely too tired to run like panicked little girl when it started to hail out here last night..
I did feel like captain of a ship in a massive storm when I was grilling though.. damn was it coming down sideways for a bit.
