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.

The sky was unearthly! It was like a mother ship had touched down.

There was a tornado in Springfield, and the ninja girl saw hail the size of golf balls....

Looking forward to any eventual poems that come.

I've spent a lot of time out on my porch, watching the storm. Now I've got the Symphony of Psalms on - partly as soundtrack, partly to drown out the fire alarm going off in a nearby building.

Ooh, that's like the one I had while observing last week (minus the tornado, fortunately). Being able to see colour by lightning is a wonderful thing!

It was all very spectacular until the building fire alarm went off. This must be a common thing for thunderstorms. It was 2 am so everyone was at work, but no-one evacuated because the rain was forming a solid wall beyond the edges of the roofs.

Goodness. I'm glad it was a visually beautiful storm, but more glad that you'd come through okay, and I hope this continues to be the case.

A friend of mine was teaching in a fourth floor classroom in Springfield, and had a bit of a scare when the windows went, but neither she nor the students were hurt.

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.
