in praise of good, strong midwestern thunderstorms

Ts

They stretch across Illinois and move at a pace that combines an amble with a woosh, a steady rainy rumble with irregular flashy rippy-roars. A little like summer itself.

Yes, we just enjoyed a powerful storm, complete with "Flash flood watch," which should be visiting you soon.

it's here. complete with hail.

It hailed at your house? Not here. Just rain. And basement seeping.

As Storm #1 rolled in from the west at 3:30 am, took its own sweet time flashing and rumbling before any rain actually fell, and then worked its way over my house and eastward, I finally fell back asleep with the thought, "Oh, it's finally passing. Now it's over at Debbie's house."

Aw. I'm glad you're back. Yah, the hail came mid-morning, with storm #2.

No hail here, though it blew like All Hell last night. Lots of leaves to pick up this AM, and I hear a chipper screaming down the street right now.
