Awesome!

Tonight after we got home it started to storm. We knew it was coming but weren't sure how bad it would be. The lightening was AWESOME!! The thunder louder than I have heard in a long time and then the rain was almost deafening on the metal roof of our house. It was great!! I really love storms as long as there isn't anything hurt by them. Tonight was just a great night of sitting and listening to the awesome power of God.
When I was a kid we lived out on the farm. I can remember one summer when we seemed to be getting more than our fair share of storms. My little sis was still pretty small and my mom was on the phone with my Aunt in town 30 minutes away from where we lived. All of a sudden there was a sound like some one knocking and then all heck broke loose. The sound was awful. Glass breaking, mom hollering for us to get into the middle room in the house. Later when we were able to go look we found hail the size of baseballs in our living room and a layer of them outside the house. It was unreal. It came from the west and everything on that side of the house was demolished. The cars had dents and broken windows. Our animals looked like someone had taken broken bottles to them and beaten the tar out of them. It was pretty bad. Then when my brother and dad went out to check the damage they were headed out around the shop when lightening hit out in our field. Boy did they get their tails back in the house fast. That was the worst storm I have ever been in.
I don't know why they fascinate me but they do. Although lightening can be scary to me sometimes. If you have a favorite memory of a storm in your life please tell me about it. I'd love to hear from people who stop by here.
Have a Rainy Day!!! lol
