I used to think I liked thunderstorms...the rain and noise as it lulled you to sleep, the rolling thunder in the distance...notice the key word being DISTANCE.
Here, in lovely GA last night we had a crazy thunderstorm, which led to tornado warnings/ watches. Thanks to Sabrina, and her grandma, I will remember a tornado watch is where it's 'ok' for you to sit and watch for it out the window. A warning is like a 'get the hell to safety because you may get hit and die.' Ok. well she didn't say the die part, but you know. If we had a basement here I may be a little more at ease, and the fact that if the trees did get hit and fall they are far enough away from the house that it wouldn't necessarily get hit, and we are on a hill-ish area makes me feel better. But, when there are close to 90 (or more) I will look up the exact number later, of lightning hits in about an hour. The storms tore through Georgia, and lightning hit the main Bank of America, not once, but TWICE last night. I have no idea how the puppy slept through it all, and then when it finally calmed down, 420am she decides to come up and start pawing at me in the face to wake up and play with her. Yes, she is adorable...PS if you don't know, saturday April 2nd, we got a new puppy- she's adorable, Bella. She is a german shepard, rotweiller mix...bundle of energy but so freakin adorable!! She even slept with me (almost the whole night) on the couch. She is as big as Taz and Bentley right now, but won't be for long!! I want her to stay puppy sized forever, but at the same time I love big dogs and am excited to see how big she will actually get! Also, she pretty much seems to already be potty (or potty pad) trained...we definitely got lucky with that! She is just 8 weeks old, about the same length as my aunt's shoe...I think it's like size 7 or something like that- so pretty close to my shoe size too.
Anyways, back to the storms...I hope there isn't any tornados where I am, or I hope I get used to and not as nervous for all of the warnings! Ahh! Especially because i was told we are going into the storm season. If we just got crazy thunder and lightning storms without the tornados I would be a lot more calm. The lightning here though definitely hits a lot more per hour, and seems to hit more/ be more 'rampant' (is that the word I should be using here) down here than in lil towns in NY that I have been in! I will say I like the noise ....
