Wanna get scared easily??

Try waking up, and getting in the shower, and it is a T-storm and Tornado watch. While ya ae taking a shower, the T-storms decide to kick in that that very moment. :eek: :eek:

A nice welcome to Hurricane Season, I must say!!! :D :D

It's going to be a looooooong season. :roll:

Scary to say the least. Lightning is not cool, no matter what your doing. If it hits your home or near your home while your showering, it can travel the plumbing and really light up your world. Once a friend and I were in the river fishing in an aluminum boat. A storm blew up with the most cloud to ground lightning I've ever seen. One bolt after another within a couple hundred yards of us. Quite a delima, stay in the boat in the middle of the water and get toasted or get to the bank and get under a tree and get fried. We chose the tree and thankfully I'm still here today. LOL

I must admit that after getting out of the shower and getting dressed, I did go on the balcony overlooking the Intracoastal, and I did watch the T-storm. They are dangerous, but exciting> Weather junkie here!! :wink:
