I wrote a status and decided it should be a blog

Well, we got one of our first real rain storms tonight, it lasted about 30 minutes and the news is saying it so far has given us about half an inch of rain. So needless to say, a lot of rain in a short amount of time. It was pretty amazing to watch...

I had been in bed because of a rather bad headache (that had caused me to leave work early today), and I woke up to hear the rain start and I almost felt the relief in my headache as it started to rain harder. I still have a little headache however it is not nearly as intense as it was before the rain started.

So I got up to watch the rain and maybe move my plants so they could get some rain, I moved the plants then came back inside for a minute to do something, I was frightened by a VERY LOUD and close thunderclap, it set off several car alarms in the parking lot I feel it was probably a likely lightning strike. The news said there was a palm tree fire not to far from where I live, so I am guessing there was lightning with the thunder! Well right after that happened the HEAVY rain started and hail, so I went out to move the plants so they would survive as they were being pummeled with the rain and hail. Stayed out on the patio to watch the rain, and started making a video right as the wind and rain pulled two limbs off the trees in our parking lot, I was rather glad I wasn't parked under the tree today! There was no damage done to any cars but their could have been if the tree had continued to break.

Well I got rather wet just standing at the back of the patio watching the rain, and then I decided to collect some water to use for watering my plants and I got REALLY wet! It was great!

I love the rain, and I am also very grateful that my headache is a little better. Still there but a bit better!
