Storm Warnings

We have really had the heavy rains. I don't remember hearing so much continuous thunder. It seems to go on for a very long time. The eves can't even carry all the rain, it is coming down so hard. The storms are coming in waves and it is going to be a very wet day. We got a 1/4" in a few minutes.

Thunderstorms

We just had a huge thunderstorm go through here. It sure scared Holly, our little Boston terrier. There was awful lot of lightning and thunder and we stayed away from all windows and doors. You do not want to be on the telephone then either. We unplugged our roof antenna booster. I also unplugged my computer as I sure would not want it to get hit. We got an inch of rain in about half an hour. Now the sun is starting to come out. The flowers needed watering, so now I don't need to do it.

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.
