Strange Days?
atypical fall/winter storms
Where we live, thunderstorms are very rare. However, in the last few days (the last four, I'd say), we've had storms that have included thunder and lightning. Now, these weren't like the thunderstorms I'm used to from the southeast and midwest; while each storm lasted several hours, and included what is typical to storms up here—strong winds—they each included a few flashes of lightning and several claps of thunder.
It's been pleasant as thunderstorms are one of the things I've missed living where we do right now.
