Spring 78: Summer Storms

around 7pm, University of Dayton, Dayton, OH
thunderstorm

Having grown up in California, I get a kick out of real thunder-and-lightning storms, as these were a terribly rare occurrence.

Somehow this sheltered upbringing also makes me a little unaware of possible dangers - I hear thunder and get excited. I see lightning and eagerly await the thunder. It's all fun! I seem to lack the reflex to worry about being struck by electricity.

This evening tumultuous rains foiled my plans to record a bird, but I did enjoy catching a clip of the rain for you:

A smidge of thunder:

There were much louder and closer cracks, but I didn't get my recorder in time. Next storm!
