Thunderstorms

We get thunderstorms on a fairly regular basis here. The one that came through today was a little more exciting that usual. I ventured up on the roof while putting the finishing touches on a clothes drier installation and I saw what was coming. I took a picture that doesn't do it justice and then promptly got off the roof. (Although it wouldn't be the first time that I was up on a roof as a thunderstorm loomed!) I wish I could describe the amount of water that fell in that first hour. The only thing I've seen like it is a tropical storm I experienced in southern Florida. We're glad for a solid (concrete) roof over our heads!
