Last night we had a horrible sleep because of an intense thunder and lightening storm. The thunder was so incredibly loud and the lightening was continuous for awhile. You know how you are taught as a kid to count the seconds between lightening and thunder and that is how many miles away it is...well they were at the exact same time for awhile that we were sure it was going to hit down close for awhile. Amazing and frightening all at the same time.
Our weather has been nuts here. At one time yesterday I turned on the TV and it said the following for our county:
severe storm warning
thunder and lightening storms
flood warning
flash flood warning
tornado watch
Seriously, insane. And the weirdest part of it is that the weather is intertwined with these beautiful streches of short and t-shirt weather, and it is of course muggy and extremely humid. We drove around to a state park today and were reminded of the flooding in the coulees in Lethbridge as full fields are full of water and some roads are impassable. One of our friends in the building we live in just knocked on the door to tell us he had flooded ( he is in a basement complex) and Stephen is helping sort out the mess. My only hope is that is will keep quiet until Allison gets here at 5:45pm and then it can do whatever it wants.

Amber I can relate. When I would visit my grandparents in the midwest, never fail there would be some crazy storm or tornado warning. It ruined a couple camping trips. On one camping trip, I remember waking up under a motorhome bunk bed - after I freaked out at barely being able to move - I found out that one of my adult family members moved me from our collapsed tent (from crazy winds),and shoved me under there. 14 people squeezed into a small motorhome that night. What a disaster! I seriously think this incident is to blame for my closterphobia(spelling?)now.
Have fun with Alison!
I just saw the news story about your crazy weather. Yikes - duck and cover!
