While I will never miss the ungodly heat of the south, I do miss their ripping thunderstorms. The few rumblers we have in Maine rarely come close in intensity but recently we had a beauty.

And yes, I’m that weirdo neighbor who sits on their porch and waits for it to roll in.

The real action didn’t start until after dark…

But you could feel it in the air.

Boomers were coming…

River's world..... 
I’m that weirdo neighbor, too! Who actually stays inside the house when such exciting weather is approaching??

Not at all. Nothing smooth and soothing about it… it was a rip roarer. Which is not how I like my romance.

Weirdos unite! I’m in! I love it. Such beautiful captures! I’m sitting outside staring at the skies having just looked at storm pics from last week~hearing another one is coming on Wednesday (I’m in SW MO).

We’re due for another soaker tomorrow. Our lawn is a swamp.

Wonderful. Oh I love a good thunder storm. When my son was little, we would sit outside on the covered step of our old house and have milk and cookies while watching the storm.

We rarely get thunderstorms which is good because they start forest fires out here.

I knew there was a reason we are blog buddies! I love thunderstorms and love to be outside or under the porch when they come rolling in. We haven’t gotten any rain let alone ripping storms in months. The heat is scorching plant life around here. Even my neighbors beautiful green and lush lawn is now turning yellow and crunchy. My pear tree is trying to survive and it’s disheartening to watch this happen and now being able to do anything about it 🥺

It’s bizarre because our last two summers were dry as a bone. Drought, brown lawns, dry wells… I feared for all those new trees we planted. This year? Rain almost every day. It’s crazy. Now I’m worried about them rotting in standing water. It’s pouring as I wrote this. Wish we could send you some….

I love sitting on my screen porch watching them roll in. Such beauty before the destruction.

We get some wonderful ones in Australia. There’s a visceral reaction I sense as they come, which shows how we humans are indivisible from nature’s works. This is proven by people having asthma attacks when they occur. As for the root rotting, when we moved into this house I noticed there was a brass/copper pipe sticking out of the ground near the lemon tree. The soil is clay and I believe that it was a way for the former owner to allow evaporation at the roots when waterlogging occurred. Might be useful?

We have serious clay further down the backyard. That’s an interesting idea…
