Wow bizzare weather

So it was another hot sunny day today and I said to my wife, it would be nice if it rained. She replied that it will rain on Thursday, I was like thats a long way away. Well about half an hour later while we were in the city, we went into a shop for all of 3 minutes and we thought we heard thunder. When we stepped outside, in the space of those 3 minutes the sky had gotten very dark, it started to get cold even and was spitting. My wife and I decided to go into a building and then the rain fair poured down, tonnes of thunder, lightening and a few power cuts. We were in the building for half an hour and heres a picture of 1 of the main roads, after half an hour of rain.



Not bad eh, definitely bizzare the way it suddenly came on. But I was so happy.
Its still thundery and lighteningy at the moment.

Oh crap, some rain got in the house and all over my printer and my USB jack doesn't work now coz it has fizzed

We had some rain yesterday as well. And today the weather is much cooler!!

Its all wacked out in MN too..poor Kenz is having flooding and they are expecting flurries I guess

Thank goodness we got some rain but most of it is staying in te southern part of WI and MN. And much cooler too its like 61F right now!!

Flurries?!! It's too soon for that!

Oh how I would love some rain!!!

The temps have been between 96 and 106 for the past week and a half, and I am ready for it to COOL OFF! Our humidity is always really high here too, so you can almost see the air it's so thick. Blech.

I love big storms as long as I'm inside somewhere safe.

Inside, no thats not fun.
My wife wanted to go in a building coz she said "oh it won't last" that was boring took me 1/2 an hour to get her to go out into the rain (we parked our car quite a distance from the city center) If she had have listened to me and not stopped in the building, we wouldn't have had to walk through foot deep water. I love it though. We had thunder rumbling round again today but nothing came of it.
I love the heat but not without air con, coz the house actually gets 10-15 degrees hotter than outside.

We finally got some much-needed rain here in Missouri. We just got out of a heat-wave of 100+ temps for the past couple of weeks!
