We had a very intense electrical storm last night. There I was, minding my own business perusing this forum when ... C-R-A-A-A-C-K-K ... and a bright flash of light just a few feet from the house ... I jumped a foot, as did Melvin (one of our two cats) who was resting in his box that sits on top of my desk.
What followed was a very intense thunder/lightening storm ... crack - boom ... constantly for over an hour ... mostly overhead in our area ... A thunderous rain followed for about 30 minutes. Of course,the temperature here in 'hell' never lowered below 101°(f).
Currently 76°(f) @ 07:30, heading for another blast furnace day of over 105°(f).
