It has been quite the weekend weather wise. Saturday afternoon deteriorated into thunderstorms, but not too bad.

Sunday started out absolutely beautiful! By 3:30 we had extensive cloud cover and by 4:30 the skies were black and ugly. We had one of the most intense thunderstorms I've experienced. I swear it was right over my apartment. The thunder and lightening were amazing, I tried to capture the lightening with my still camera but I am not sure I caught it! The electricity went out for over 2 hours (I pretty much have 24 / 7 power where I live) and there was obviously a problem. The whole city was out at one point! Everywhere I looked (360 degree views) it was black.

By 8 pm the power was on and the rain had stopped! During the storm our temperatures dropped 10 F degrees!

Today: we have overcast skies. It is 28 C and it is humid, with almost no breeze. I am told this pattern could continue for a few days, so expect more showers.

Have a great day.
