Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Sunday the weather guessers had predicted not forecasted
that we’d be faced with an all day rain for yesterday that just didn’t happen. Well
last night they finally got it right. They said that we could expect to hear
the sounds of thunder rumbling around our area shortly after 2:00. I was already awake by then and at exactly
2:01 the far away rumbles started until around 3:00 when it sounded like
someone going wild on a set of drums. I was having one of my restless nights
but luckily Kathy who is scared of lightning didn’t hear a thing and slept
soundly.
While we had our breakfast the sun was shining brightly and
the only evidence of the storm were the few standing water puddles in the
parking lot. The Weather Network again stated we could expect intermittent showers
throughout the day.
I finished drinking my coffee reading E-mails then finished
closing up the tools I’d used in the living room. Looking outside the sun had
disappeared behind a thick blanket of threatening clouds. I gathered everything
and headed back to the truck to correct the electrical problem I’d run into
last evening. I’d no sooner put the tools in the backseat when the first drops
the size of a water balloon hit me. I simply closed the door and trotted back inside
before I was totally drenched. The Weather Network got this one right as well.
The rain would stop just long enough for the pavement to begin drying and then
another torrential wave would begin.
Even though it is still raining outside as I write this post
I was able to grill a couple of hamburgers for supper on the Weber Q on our
balcony. The rain was blowing in from the northwest and our balcony faces the
south keeping me nice and dry. Thanks for following along and feel free to
leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
