Quick Hitter

Wow!! That was something different.

Short, quick and intense storm just blew through.

Dark sky rolling in, heavy rain, strong winds howling, thunder rumbling (in stereo surround sound it seemed.).

Big trees swaying. Tree limbs snapping. Power went out for a few seconds. .....

     ..... rapid fire, off, on, off, on!!

The mayhem, five to ten minutes in length. 

And just as suddenly, it's over and heading east and elsewhere.

It certainly made known its arrival and passing.

Then the rain stopped, winds greatly lessened, and the sun emerged from its seeming oblivion.

Almost springlike even.

And it's like the storm, and previous ten minutes, never happened.

2/25/25 edit .....

I read that there was a tornado warning issued for just across town, five-ten miles away. A co-worker showed some video of a lightning strike just a door or two down from his house. Maybe not so unusual for many but weird, wild stuff for these parts.
