Thunder and Lightning

It was a late night last night. Around 11 the storm started and what light show it was! The lightning never stopped until about 3 a.m. It was like trying to sleep with the lights on - and the radio blaring so hard it was shaking the house. Gertie wanted to go out to see what was going on - it took several times of telling her no for her to finally settle down. Still, she had to bark when the thunder got too loud. We lost power for a bit in the night so this morning I ran around not knowing what time it was for a bit till all the clocks were reset. This morning was much cooler outside but more rainstorms are on the way and it hasn't taken long for the mugginess factor to kick in. Thank goodness for central air conditioning! It may not be green but it sure is comfortable.
