We had wave, after wave, after wave of severe thunderstorms today. It was crazy. We got caught in one of the storms while walking home after visiting with some friends. We were walking as fast as we could as it started sprinkling. Then, we saw/heard a loud spark of electricity followed by a lightning strike nearby. The clap of thunder that came afterward was so loud it actually hurt our ears. We all jumped, yelled, and Toby bolted. He was on leash, but this was incredibly scary and startling. Neither of us has been that close to being hit by lightning before. Even one of the loons let out a shriek after that calamity.
Rain-wise, we got 0.73". Add that to the former total for July and we have had 8.5" of rain thus far. (July usually gets 4" on average.) And, there is more rain to come on Sunday!
