BRISSIE STORMS

I always loved a good storm, but the storms here reallly are something else. I love it. I seem to remember it being the case that with storms in England, everything would hit at pretty much the same time, bit of thunder, bit of lightening, then rain. Here, however, you can have lightening for hours and think nothing else is going to happen before BOOM, all of a sudden, a crash of thunder and down comes the rain in torrents. And the lightening, WOW! Sheet lightening? Fork lightening? Ball lightening? How about all of them together? How about when lightening lights up the sky brighter than day, but a crazy, explosive, purple-blue sun day. When it tears the sky asunder, one giant fork bisecting the sky from top to bottom and even more giant forks shooting out sideways from that. We also have the perfect aprtment for storm watching. Seven stories up, looking out over the river and all the way to the hills in the distance. I could just stand on the balcony all night watching that, thunder seeming to be shaking the whole building apart. Awesome. As in Awe-some, not as in Cowabunga Dude!
