Storms

Even last year I noticed that storms seem more violent here, but the last two days have been on a whole new level - lightning so frequent it's like having a strobe light in your room for hours and the constant thunder over your head. It was storming two nights in a row and late into the morning today. I've never been through anything like it, and it knocked out the elevator in our building this morning. Thankfully the elevator service was restored tonight and the weather has calmed down to drizzles, but the news reports coming in about storm and lightning damage are pretty alarming.
