We are experiencing the mother of all normal thunderstorms, here. There was a tornado warning for a town nearby but over where I am the storm's not even severe enough to cause a power outage. In fact, we never get anything exciting where I live. All of the interesting parts of all storms happen in the town nearby and when Chesterton has huge power outages, I'm just sitting cozy in my well-lit house. And yes, that did very much sound like I wanted power outages and tornado-force winds.
I'm located about ten minutes south of Lake Michigan and forty-five minutes from the Illinois border. I was out to dinner with my dad and they had the news on; downtown Chicago is completely blacked out. The storm that hit them was moving our way. Storms thrill me. When my dad and I were driving home, we got to see all the black storm clouds advance and then all of a sudden the cold front came through and it was amazing.
We've been having a lot of thunderstorms lately. And most oddly, we've been having thunderstorms in the morning. Yesterday and today I got to wake up in a very pleasant manner to thunderstorms and rain outside my window. And today, we've had two pretty sizable storms in the space of twelve hours. Not to mention we experienced a huge storm while I was at nationals, and even in Kansas City there were at least two storms in one week while I was there. Love it, love it, love it. The weather should be like this all the time.
Still plugging along on the scarf. I knit at it a little bit when I was at a cafe today, but then my friend told me Charlotte Russe was having a sale on their harem pants and that was the end of my knitting today. I didn't even find their harem pants, either. Feh.
