thunderstorms

i had forgotten that people outside of California actually get rain and thunderstorms from time to time. O.O this morning at around 3 am, i found myself randomly awake, looking at the clock. annoyed, i rolled over on my side to go back to sleep, but not before catching flashes of light outside my window. i lay there and watched for a bit just to make sure i wasn't crazy, and sure enough, some more flashes, followed by low rumbling sounds. at first i was like "eh? flashes and loud noises? bombs?" and then i finally remembered "ah, lightning and thunder, oh yeah i remember that stuff now." :P we got some REALLY spectacular storms in Michigan and Wisconsin when i lived there.

ok, so today, the same thing. i'm here at work and all of a sudden, the power is gone for a few seconds. a couple seconds later - *BOOM boom boom boom...* awesome. absolutely rad. :D as long as it doesn't do more than lightning and thunder, i'll be ok. no tornadoes, no hurricanes, nothing like that. :P speaking of which, if any of my loyal readers are in or anywhere near where Rita's expected to make landfall, GET THE HECK OUT. this isn't a game, and it's not going to be pretty. don't be macho, just suck it up and evacuate. *nods*

right. time to go to class.
