While some of Kansas got tornados, we received some marble size hail and not quite an inch of rain!
I know-- lucky huh?? Well........, that's not really the way we see it! While I don't want to get wiped off the map with a tornado, we, TheManWhoHoldsMyHeart and I love watching storm clouds build out on the horizon. We are in awe of the lightening flashing in huge branches across the sky and the boom of thunder as it builds, rumbles, and crashes in a loud crescendo! Oh yea that's what the rocking chairs on our front porch are all about, getting the IMAX view of the storm!! For several years now the storms have been lacking as we are in a dry cycle and most of the promising radar formations either split and go around us or just disipate before they reach us. So, for the most part we've been limited to enjoying sunsets from the rockers, very satisfying, but we'd love to mix it up with a good Cumulonimbus incus (look it up) cloud formation, they build upward right before your eyes! So, while storm chasers are out there seeking the thrill, we'll be here waiting for it to come to us!
Darn! I was checking the radar periodically on saturday to see if you guys were gettin anything good. Make sure to take some video for me if a good storm rolls through!
