The Apocalypse came today, in the form of a hail storm to end all mild Oregon hail storms. I'm fighting a vicious cold right now (coughing and mucus and fever, oh my!), so I was (apparently) peacefully asleep until I was so rudely awakened by the loudest clattering ever (although I didn't realize that I had even fallen asleep until the storm started). It sounded like a train had exploded right outside of Carson -- a totally opaque wall of rain and ice came thunder-and-lightninging down for about five minutes, and at the end of it, the entire road outside of my window had become a giant, icy whirlpool. Pretty bizarre weather, especially since it was so nice this morning -- thus, my prediction of Apocalypse.
