Thunder Storms Rock

When I lived at my parents, we used to get probably 10 thunder storms every summer, maybe more. We would sit on the deck and watch them move across the sky. Everything is flat out there so you can see for miles. They ranged from no precipitation to large, marble sized hail. Sometimes, they would occur in the middle of the night, right above the house, scaring me out of sleep.

Here, thunder storms are few and far between. Since living in "the Valley" I've only seen 4 or 5. Tonights was pretty good, though. An interesting point is that I was actually checking the weather report which stated possible storms and 20% chance of showers when it started raining those big, telltale drops. It was a welcomed cooling.
