I was awakened from my sleep last night by one of the wickedest storms I have heard in a very long time. My head is right beside the window and it sounded like the rain would beat thru the window and bring the lightening right along with it.
I just laid there, propped up on my elbow listening and praying and then all of a sudden it was a boom so loud followed by a crash the lights blinked. I snatched the covers over my head and didn't move. I laid there and listened and the lightening popped and the Earth shook and the rain beat on my window and then I laughed at myself because I know the covers can't keep the lightening out, but they can keep me from seeing it. Eventually my breath got hot and my air started running out so I eased from under the covers. Now is when I wish for someone in da bed with me.
I peeked from under my covers and saw the red light on my tv set and I could see a light from outside my window so I peeked out the window and looked in the sky and the lightening was dancing all across the sky, and then a loud boom followed by some snap, crackling and popping, and the whole sky lit up and I closed my curtain quickly and I laid back and listened and waited until Mother nature stopped fussing...
I have been trying to post this all day...
