Another day, another thunderstorm. This one was huge, stretching from the Hudson valley to New Hampshire. It got really, really dark, and then really, really windy. The rain came down in torrents. The lights kept flickering. Of course, it was almost quitting time, so we milled around for a bit, peering out the windows to see if it was letting up at all. It finally did, a little after five, so most of us booked it out of there. I saw some spectacular lightning on the way home, as well as a few branches (and a couple of trees) down along the road. There was no power in parts of Agawam and Southwick, but everything here was on. Bonus: no tornadoes this time. All the weathercasters pointedly said that this was not the same sort of storm we had last week. It was still pretty intense, though! We'll all be a little nervous during severe storms for a while, I think.
I might just venture out for a walk now. There's no chocolate in the house, and *that* is a tragedy. *g*
