Thunder and Lightning

It has been thundering and lightning every since last night. The rain is just pouring down. Sometimes the rain gauge has gone up 3/4 of an inch in just minutes. We are running over 2 1/2 inches already in a very short time. It got so dark awhile ago I turned on the lights. The wind is really blowing too. We have been under thunderstorm watches for some time. At least it is down to about 59 degrees so we aren't likely to be having any tornados and that is a very good thing as Iowa as been targeted today for those. It is scary.
