Late Afternoon Thunderstorms

 We've been getting them this week.  Every day this week. Sometimes between 3:00 and dark, the bottom falls out.  Lots of thunder and wind.  By dark, it's done.

I don't recall ever seeing this in August.  August is normally the time for drought.  Right now, outside, the thunder is rolling.   The cats are upset, but they know where to stay dray.  Belle estimates that, based on the level of the water in the pool, we have gotten about 3 inches in the past hour.

It's Friday afternoon, and I have a good roof.  We're indoors and dry and cocktail hour approaches.

NO question it's been a 'strange' summer for weather...

Typical summer weather for here near The Mouse. Tourists pay thousands to travel here, delayed as the airport can't have workers on the ramp (fuel, baggage, maintenance) during lightning, and once in the amusement parks to stand in lines in the wet heat. Of course these days park attendance is way down, so maybe the tourists are getting smarter.
