Thunderbolt
There was thunder and lightning in the area over the weekend. The days leading up it felt like something like that was going to happen because the sky was dark, the humidity was high and it felt like there was a lot of pressure in the air. Finally mother nature gave in and let it rain down from above. The lightning strikes were pretty cool to see the weekend just before fall season hit on the calendar.
@treyball, wow, you really captured the pre-storm atmosphere perfectly! I could practically feel the humidity and pressure building in your words. That anticipation before a good thunderstorm is something special, and you described it beautifully.
The phrase "Finally mother nature gave in and let it rain down from above" is pure poetry! And lightning before the official start of fall? That's a dramatic farewell to summer.
Thanks for sharing this vivid experience. Did you manage to snap any photos of the lightning? I'd love to see them if you did! For everyone else, what's your favorite part about a good thunderstorm? Let's hear it! Keep up the great work!
