Just minutes away from a really harsh storm heading right at me. I'm just east of KC.

eta: The sky just turned darkest grey in a matter of 5 minutes. I love storms.

I have a little baby pool out back I use to bathe the dogs, and the rain this past hour has filled it to the rim.

Oh heck no...LOL We need the rain. Our trees were actually late in getting their leaves because of how dry the winter and beginning of spring were.

Wild weather here today!

It started out gorgeous. Clear blue skies, no wind, not too hot. Darren and I went out to lunch, there were some puffy white clouds and it was only too hot if we stood in the sun too long.

Came home and within just a few minutes of being here, the sky had completely darkened. Wind kicked up (I now have the cable, tv cable, flapping against the house) hard, and it started to thunder and lightening. Scared poor baby niece so bad I thought I'd never dislodge her from my leg. It's now started to sprinkle a little bit.

I've been hearing sirens almost since this started so I have a feeling lightening hit somewhere in the desert and we've got a brush fire.

last Sunday I went up to New Hampshire for the day (yes I said the day, only about a 50 minute drive to where I went.) It sprinkled up there and I had called my Sister in law (who lives south of Boston) and she said it was pouring out and thunder and lightning. she said it was the 2nd storm that had come through

We had extremely wild weather run through here last night - baseball-sized hail, sideways rain, got about 2 inches dumped on us in a very short amount of time.

The baseball sized hail hit just a half mile north of our house and trashed the town of Fishers, destroying cars, siding, windows, signs. Anything with exposed neon is trashed, Colossus has been taking their calls right and left this morning. Trees and foliage took a real beating.

It's a real shame, and we are lucky it missed us here at the house.

I've been in a little trailer while it was hailing baseball sized hail before, broke all the windows on two sides of the trailer, scary and yes very damaging!

We rarely get thunderstorms up here in Oregon and they think stuff smaller than a pea is hail, lol. This week we are having thunderstorms and the lightening was right above my house the other night. My niece's graduation is tonight, outside and we are supposed to be having more thunderstorms! At least it's not cold.

Thunder and lightning here most of the night and even now.

The rain would start out strong and then fizzle after a few minutes.

I was hoping we could get some rain that would be strong enough to make everything clean - like in Oregon.

We've had a weird spring too, Dfennessey. Several thunder/lightening storms in the last couple weeks, hail (though further away than here,) and little bits of sprinkling. Our biggest problem here is that the lightening keeps setting off brush fires. We had 3 or 4 last week.

Rosie, it is clean up here! Funny that you said that because I drove thru a town in Oklahoma last summer that needed a shower like crazy! We should have driven right past but I had to pee and the grandkids were hungry. Even the Sonic was dirty and it stunk like dog poo, flies all around.

Denecee, I know it is clean there.

The rain just stopped again but this time the streets and plants did get enough water to look cleaner.

Oh, and I was just thinking about something to eat and you put that thought completely out of mind. lol

I keep hearing sirens so turned on the local news.

They mentioned that there are 6 fires caused by lightning strikes.

They showed one location, mentioned a second location/city and never did say where the other 4 fires are.

Gotta love our local news. NOT.

They spend more time telling us about L.A.'s mayor and his relationships with female newscasters.

Rosie, that was wild! We've been overcast lately but had some sun yesterday. Last night all was normal as far as I knew.. went to bed, zonked and at 2am or thereabouts.. WILD loud thunder, lightning..

Sigh.. I decided to go downstairs to make sure my good three step stool/ladder thing WAS back in the house, it was but my taller ladder was outside.. so I'm out there at 2:30am in my nightshirt trying to collapse the ladder quietly and get it into the garage.

Got a few raindrops on me before I went back inside.

More lightning and thunder.. loud.. and then I went to sleep again. Don't think we got more than sprinkles though.

Must have been hearing most of it from out your way, Rosie, but some of it was closer when I counted bewteen the flash and boom..

Hi SEA, sounds like you had some fun too.

It is strange because it continues to start and stop. Just had what sounded like hail. I didn't get up to look.

I blame Landi for my being awake last night to begin with. She told me that MC D's iced coffee was pretty good so I stopped by and got one yesterday afternoon. That coffee kept me awake but it was good. lol

Aren't we supposed to turn off the computers during lightning storms?

P.S. My cat went back to bed and is under the covers so the bad lightning can't get her.

Rosie, that's what I was taught, turn off the t.v. and don't take a bath/shower.
