I Love the Thunder

All day the dark clouds were hanging around, but it was not until about an hour ago that it began to rain. I could hear the steady beat on the roof, and distant rumble of thunder.
Suddenly the sky opened up, and we had quite a dramatic downpour, complete with booming thunder, proceeded only briefly by flashes of lightening. Hailstones about the size of marbles came down for about ten minutes.
Now the thunderstorm has passed, leaving a steady rain in its wake.
I will leave you with a song. “You Love the Thunder” is by Jackson Browne. It is off his 1977 album Running on Empty.

@norcal - We do get some good rain during the summer, but yeah, I'm ready for hot sunshine.

Yes, thunder can be wonderful! Here it is just the wind and floods we don't care for so much.

I love a good storm! I get excited and happy when the storm rolls in. It is relaxing weather to me.

There was some thundering going on earlier and now the rain has made its way back. I'm glad because it cools things down a bit. I kind of like thunderstorms but can do without the tornadoes. It seems thunderstorms are making rounds. Have a great rest of the week.
