Outside, the stormclouds gathering

Hello, tornado warning in Lexington. That's unusual.

(I was called home from the library: into a smoky green storm-coming sky, lightning cracking pink-hot through it. I love storms. I write poems about them. The wind rising upstairs is astonishing.)

ETA: Lightning you can read by. Sweet.

About 15 minutes after arriving at work yesterday morning, I jumped about a mile when the thunder struck (completely unexpectedly - I had biked in and it had seemed like a normal muggy morning) almost directly overhead. It sounded like a big pile of corrugated iron had been dumped off the roof of the building next door.

At 8 PM, the sky was BRIGHT YELLOW.

At 8 PM, the sky was BRIGHT YELLOW.

We had some of that, too—and a streaked, sulfurous red sky, like sunset in Hell. It was great.
