Damn. Another future politician.
We had a rain cell move through this morning like nothing I've seen in years. Lightning and thunder like in the Hollywood sci-fi movies. We had a nearby flash with an instantanious boom that went on and on for about 20 seconds, with a second rumble of a different frequency coming in on top. It was playing a duet! When the weather guy on TV showed the lightning tracker graphic you couldn't even see the State map under all the little graphics of each lightning bolt.
I've been around a number of years and even lived through an Asian monsoon season, and I don't remember anything as violent as this morning. At least two house fires were started by this cell.
