Thunder is so polite. I wonder if she will soon take on the manners of the established norm of today? I like this descriptive one which makes me think of my Thursday. No lightning yet. Sara

Ha, ha. I like your comment. Such a polite lady, thunder is. 'KABOOM!' ... Yikes, what was I thinking anyway?! Thanks, Sara.

The entire atmosphere just before the outbreak and during the course of a thunderous rain is beautifully encapsulated ! Great Haiku, Gershon !

Thanks, Valsa. We must have the same storm in mind. You know: That storm which started in California, moved through Chicago, across the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, parts of Asia Minor, and right into India... Yes, THAT storm. lol. They just don't make storms they way they used to, I guess! Excelsior, Gershon

As long as there are no power outages or damage, it can be awesome to watch the power of a raging storm. Thanks, Heidi. :) gw

Hey, Tom! You say you like T-storms? Then, I'm officially inviting you to play a round of 9 holes with me somewhere along the Atlantic Ocean, maybe Spain?, during the next major lightning storm. Make sure to stock up on irons!! ~ Fore!
