Rain, rain please come again another day

As Mike mentioned we got a storm that moved through about 4 p.m. The sky got all dark and soon we had rumble booms (my name for thunder) then it started to pour. Our little town even got on the news as one of the areas that got the most rain. Usually when we have storms we are missed. If we are lucky we will get some gusty winds and maybe some sprinkles and that will be it. I use to be terrified of thunder and lightening as a kid but somewhere along the line I find them fascinating. I will stand under an overhang or porch and just watch the storm move through. I love the smell of rain and hearing it on the roof is so relaxing. I do have some concerns as we are living in tornado alley, so in the middle of the night or the wee hours of the morning I will stay up just to be sure that there no tornado warnings I should be aware of. Until we get a decent underground shelter, not a basement, I won't sleep easy from the months of March through November. But then who am I fooling, I don't sleep much anyway, so there is not much difference.
