Thunderstorms

We had 89 degrees today and it has been cool up until yesterday. This is too hot and causes severe thunderstorms to occur. We went to the next town about 20 miles away to eat and left all our windows open because it was stifling inside and our little dog, Holly, was panting even with fans running.

It began to rain as we finished eating and got into the car with rain drops the size of quarters. As we drove home, we got into heavier rain with the largest rain drops and by the time we got home it was dry. We didn't get any rain at all. We could really use it but I am glad it didn't rain in the windows and wet the carpet, etc. We always unplug the antenna too just in case of lightning because we have been hit in the past.
Holly has finally cooled off and cool breezes are now blowing through the house. It will be about 25 degrees cooler tomorrow and we are supposed to get rain Saturday and Sunday. Our flowers could use it.
