12. In my neck o' the woods...

Thunderstorms have three things about them that require attention: lightning, it can hit you or it can start a wildfire; Hail, it can get pretty big and be driven by harsh wind; Flooding, flash floods in any terrain or mudslides or both.

When they aren't trashing everything in sight, they are amazing. Eagles are attracted to the thermals created when the build-up is taking place, saw one a little while ago and see one almost every day along with other large birds catching the elevator to the top.

The internet went out once and the radio went out twice a little while ago as some monsters were firing off between me and the repeater or the repeater and the broadcaster. Took a few minutes to come back. Also, town and the whole area has been pretty quiet while they're picking that train wreck out of the river a ways down the line.

The simpler yet excitable things in life.
