One thing you definitely miss in San Diego is an intense thunderstorm. First of all, I cannot remember the last time we had a good rain. In fact, any rain at all. Once I was driving down the highway and I thought we were having rain, only to find out the pool cleaning truck in front of me was spritzing a little water on me. And that's my story.
for all you people over 50 out there... some comfort food from the Weather Channel
So when we got a huge thunderstorm while visiting Don's brother Dave, the girls were all excited. They played in the rain. They put a cup outside and wondered how long it would take to fill up. They laid in a puddle. They screamed whenever the thunder boomed. Becca asked me if lightening could hit your purse? could it come in your room? could it go sideways instead of up and down? Anyone that can answer those last 2 definitively, let me know.
Here is a video of the cute girliness. Unless you are related to these people, you will not be able to watch more than 20 seconds of it. I am a parent of some of them and I can't make it all the way to the end... still, an injection of cuteness in your day.

I didn't know a thunderstorm could be so exciting! What's that old saying about "not having enough sense to........"? But, then again, they are all little girls!
well out here in okie'homa we take storms pretty seriously so I found this info on lightning on PBS. Lots of reading, should answer the kiddos questions, except the lightning in the room. Enjoy-Neal

Yes, Neal, you have some serious weather there. It rained frogs the weekend of your wedding. I bet Becca would looooove that!

Second best quote: "Guys, we forgot our umbrellas!" "What about your underwear?"
