storming hellishly

[unicornduke]

 I left PA and immediately noticed storm clouds approaching. I texted my sib to close all vehicles' windows back at the house and kept moving. Thankfully I went through the first bad storm band relatively easily and rode behind it most of the way home. As I was approaching albany, I got a really cool light show, a huge storm blob with some incredible lightning. And then I drove into it and went 35mph for the last 45 minutes of my drive, which is normally 20 minutes. 

I haven't unloaded anything in my truck because it's still raining and it's probably all soaked even with the cover on the bed.

ugh.

Much like that up here much later in the evening; I was very pleased to have got home from the bus stop only lightly sogged in between rain bands because when the main one hit it was impressive.

Hope nothing in the truck is swimming!

Nice! It's always fun to dodge storms. Overall, some damp things but not too bad!

Not too bad's better than it might have been!

This morning's alertness increasing sound wasn't thunder; it was brand new dumpster moving machinery at the hospital across the street. Sounded like the unlikely offspring of tumbril-cart sound effects and a metal shredder. Which really isn't so bad, once I was awake enough to not be thinking it was coming into the house.

lmao, that's quite the surprise

I wonder if that's the same storm band that hit us in the morning. I was woken up by a thundercrash that shook the whole building arournd 7:30, and it was like that for at least fifteen minutes.

there's been so many, it's hard to tell!
