However, DC summers do have one thing going for them. Thunderstorms. Much as I love/hate the peaceful perpetual drizzle of the northwest, there is something spectacular about an East coast thunderstorm. I still can't get over how fats they crop it. Today started off hot and sunny, and next thing I know the sky has been invaded by a steady march of black thunder clouds, and then it starts, fast and furious, rain beating down furiously, with the loud accompanying thunder and lighting. It's simultaneously pretty, powerful and peaceful. I love it.
Today I got home before everything started, opened the blinds wide, ate a leftover cupcake and just enjoyed sinking into the show for the twenty minutes before the sun erupted and that was that.
And knowing that the storm usually breaks the humidity helps a little bit too.
Oh. I love thunderstorms. We get a few great ones every year here in southern Utah.
ReplyDeleteWe just got to Idaho on Tuesday and that night there was a huge thunder and lightning storm. It was awesome.
