Surprise
Posted at 8:32 pm in Weather
I went to the grocery store tonite to get some stuff. My fridge was getting pretty bare. When I left, I noticed it was wet out. 
It was dry when I left home. And it was raining pretty good. I’m wearing a white tshirt. 
Luckily, it wasn’t raining too bad. Enough to get wet but not enough to turn my tshirt see-through.
After I got in my car, I heard on the radio that we are in a severe thunderstorm warning until 9pm …

Notice it says “at 8:07pm” … I was leaving the grocery store at 8:10pm. LOL Talk about timing.
It looks like it’s a pretty decent storm on the radar, but of course, it’s moving out of town. There’s still some thunder and lightning though. Maybe there will be more weather before I head to bed. There’s another storm out there that has a tornado warning on it right now. That’s about 12 miles north of Valley City. Too bad it wasn’t earlier in the nite. I might have gone storm chasing … :lightning:
