We had a huge thunder and lightening storm with tons of rain. My phone called it “severe” and said to stay inside. It started Thursday in the middle of the night. The thunder was as loud as we’ve heard. I was sure our house had been hit. The house lit up with lightening every few seconds. We lost a lot of sleep as the storm stayed right overhead and didn’t go away. We continued with downpours the next day until the afternoon.

But with the sun peeking through the clouds, I saw the trees sparkling with raindrops that looked like diamonds (photo above.)

There was so much rain that our sunken pool bar flooded. There’s a grate over a drain under the table but the ground was so soaked it took more than a day to drain.

Below is a video of the rainstorm with thunder in the background. You can see how I flinched at the beginning when a loud crack of thunder hit.

Once the storm left us, the backyard got back to normal.

I wonder where Red and Mrs. were hiding during the storm?

Is your weather changing for Fall? Or do you still have Summer weather?
