Starting Again

I am going to try and get this thing going again. No promises of consistancy to start with but ill try.

The rainy season is upon us again, we have had a couple decent rain storms in the past 2 weeks but nothing really severe. Last night was a different story. During the late afternoon we were watching these massive thunderheads build up and spread accross the sky with incredible speed. We watched a Lenticular Cloud form on the peak of one of these titanic clouds which I didnt know was possible. Over the next few minutes the thunderhead continued rising and the Lenticular cloud unrolled like a wool watchcap (beanie) covering the peak untill it burst and dissapeared.

That night the storm finally materialized, drizzle and lightning turned into rolling thunder. Then KAABOOOM the loudest thunderclap Nikki and I had ever heard in our lives, it was a Howitzer Cannon exploding outside the window. It literally made our ears ring, and rattled soap bottles off the shower shelves. For the next hour it continued heavy winds and rain, massive lighting, and thunder that made the metal clad windows rattle in their frames. The thuder was just as I remembered it from last summer, a row of giant cannons firing accross the sky from one horizon the other in perfect succession as if timed by Thor himself. And the lightning was strobes and flashes through our drapes. The problem was our little Thor was not amused, quite the opposite actually. Grunts, growl, squeeks and barks could be heard under the bed untill we let him up and under the covers (his usual sleeping spot) where his protests continued albeit less frequently untill the storm passed.

I do love the rainy season.
