Zoe’s Journal

Well, there I was, typing out a nice long blog post, when all of a sudden, KABOOM! The power went out. My heart nearly stopped. What? The day was nice and sunny! Did someone cut the power cords? What’s going on?

I stood and went to the French doors in the kitchen. The sky was flickering! Light-black-light-black. I thought I had left the back lights on, and they were flickering. But no – I looked closer. It was freaking lightning. And it’s STILL going on now, five minutes later – not even waiting ½ a second before another flash comes. Looking out the window, I see the neighbors across the street have their lights on – why is it that only WE lose power during storms? And where the hell did THIS storm come from? Anyway, literal sheets of water are being flung across the road and smashing into the neighbor’s door. Ope – I just heard my first thunder. And it’s still going on. Still. …. Still…. Still…. WOW. This has got to be the longest thunder I’ve ever heard. And it’s getting louder! And still going on! I wish I had a tape recorder. But the trouble with those is that no one listens to tapes nowadays. GEEZ… the thunder just hasn’t stopped at all – no break whatsoever. And the WIND! Still lightning…still thundering – not a single cessation since I first started writing. And it’s getting way louder. Scary. I hear things crashing outside the house. Sounds like … Hail? Oh boy. Runs to check. Yep. It’s hail. I took a couple of videos – I’ll see how they turned out and maybe post those – you’d like that, huh? Lol.

I swear, this thunder has not missed a beat. It is on a freaking continuum!
