Cher here!
One thing Hailey and I love the most about summer is storms! I’m talking about those black clouds, risk of funnel cloud, power outage, entire house shaking from thunder kind of storm.
Did you think I forgot about hail? No. I do not want hail. Not now not ever. Hailey, yes; hail, no!
During Covid there was one giant storm near Dalmeny. It woke us all up during the night. This was in the middle of my four month covid sleepover at the Borns. Anyways, we moved the couches in front of the window. The power had gone out, and Brady needed to charge his phone for his alarm for work the next morning. I gave him my laptop to use what’s left of the battery juice to charge his phone.
After that he went outside (I’m not sure why) and Hailey and I saw the largest lightning strike! 😳 It hit some crops and a GIANT glow of pink, green, purple, covered a 10km radius (or so it seemed) followed by a LOUD crash. Some kids got up afraid, but Hailey and Brady are nice parents and let them sit on the couch with us to watch the storm.
Anyways, I am really hoping for something like that this year. I feel like the lakes up north get all the fun weather.
