Re: It's Raining!

Randall?


I miss that, too. We have thunder and lightning many times, but no
rain to go with it. We also have a lot of heat lightning. I miss
those good ole thunderstorms.

I grew up loving those thunderstorms on the Ohio River. My mom and I in
the early 40's would go out on the porch swing and wait for the thunder
and lightning. On certain nights if Inner Sanctum was on the radio, we
would turn the lights out inside and listen while it was thundering and
lightning. One time during the day we were on the porch swing during
this kind of occurrence and our house dog who was under the tree closest
to the house got sent up in the air about 6' by a lightning strike. He
survived, but the tree didn't. When we lived on the West Coast, Wayne,
I missed these storms, too. I still love these storms, even when they
strike our well 500' deep and we have had to have it replaced 3x, each
time with more expensive equipment, and now I hope (fingers crossed)
we've upgraded where Mother Nature won't touch it anymore (knock on
wood).

I'm not that much younger than you, and I remember those things which for
me was in the late 1940s-early 1950s, Sitting out on the porch swing,
enjoying the storms, listening to the radio dramas, etc. Fond memories.

Wishing you the best of weather in the next few days (and longer,too, of
course).

Thanks, Dee! It's 10:00pm and still raining.
