Originally Posted By beamerdog Wow, we had a huge storm, too, last evening. We had hail the size of quarters and bigger. And for a couple of minutes it was raining sideways. The trees were very unhappy and we saw a lot of damage driving around today. I loved opening the door, looking at all the ice, and having it be soooo cold outside after a hot, humid summer day. I wasn't so happy about the lightning and thunder. My one dog slept through it. Jackson was up and near me, but not afraid at all. Thank goodness. Have you tried giving him Rescue Remedy (watered down with a dropper)? It really helps. Poor baby. Did you get the storm?

Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie We've had a very active summer storm season here in Denver. Some very bad storms. Lots of damage around town and many tornados.

Originally Posted By mickeymeg I am in Victoria BC too. My friend got married yesterday (an outdoor wedding) and the rain and thunder held off until after dinner and formalities and made for great dancing in the warm summer rain =) It was actually quite pleasant.

Originally Posted By quincytoo It was so nice last night We had a staff BBQ and ended up eating inside but then going outside to watch the lightening show!!! It is quite humid today but that rain was worth it!!!!
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Very warmy out here in cloverdale bc to-day, you can feel the humidity in the warm air, the sun has come out a few times, very hot when it does, then it saunters back amongst the pillowy clouds, waiting for its next opening...opps here it comes, the air sure is moist, shadow is much more relaxed right now, chasing the butterflies and lil birdies that swoop down to collect there meals, the rain sure brings those earth worms to light... hopefully we are done now....need some fresh cool breezes, sure hope where the heat is , that cooler weather comes your way....take care, T-m
Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Yesterday, I spoke too soon. For after I wrote my storm report and it subsided, the storm came back with a vengeance. During the calm, my son went out to the driving range in Pitt Meadows. I didn't want him out in the storm but he went. After he'd gone, the storm let loose on us. Then, our storm sewer plugged and we almost had a flood in the garage. I had a metal prong to clear the holes in the drain, but I would have had to go outside which I did. But the lightening was all around and I said "What am I doing out in an electrical storm?" I just had to let the area flood because I didn't want to be electrocuted. Finally, it was clear to go outside and I waded to the drain.
