April Fools. tongue

Right before the end of April showers.

Sounds good...I'll sleep like a baby tonight (I hope)

And I'm kind of shocked about it. But what a nice way to wake up on my day off.

Finally! The first rain of the season. I know it's a little different to mention rain these days, but I still love it around here.

Still going. There was a peal of thunder that lasted at least thirty seconds last night.

Bean has some amazing long-exposure lightning pictures he took last night. I'll try to get him to post them here.

This morning while he was taking me to the Blue Line, there was a huge lightning flash that knocked all the traffic lights to blinking. Then they announced that the Blue Line and Green Line were experiencing power loss due to electrical failures across the city. Crazy. My train was fine, though.

Two songs come to mind right now, Garbage's 'I'm Only Happy When It Rains' and Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams'. smile

I'm not sure I'd call them "amazing." Some of them are pretty cool, and I might have to update this post to link the photos to hi-res versions, because, despite being a little more obviously blurry, they're much more impressive when they're larger. That said...

Here's what I said in SGLA:

3:05AM.

bean said:
Holy fucking shit. Thunder and lightning oh my.

I took some pics...it's still going on and the rain seems to have let up, so I might take some more...wait...nevermind. It's suddenly pouring again. Maybe later.













They're in chronological order, and I was facing East...so as you can see, the whole thing was moving inland to the North. I'm sure those of you in the OC and Eastern LA County are getting a hell of a show, if you're awake.



4:00AM

I think this next one must've hit a transformer or something, because there was a green glow at the bottom of the bolt. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch this one that well. It was too close and too big for the light settings I had.

Haha. I bookmarked it. I do that with most of the threads I start that I like. And this one I like, because I only get to write in it when my favorite days are happening. Hope that answered your question. wink

I had some low-carb ice cream earlier last evening, so I read the thunderstorm as God making fun of my rumbly colon.

Seriously.

Idjit, there was lightning every couple of seconds not 100ft from a restaurant Shalome and I were eating at when we were on vacation in Florida. I'm well aware that other places get lightning much crazier than this, but this is, by far, the wildest lightning I've seen in Southern California in the last 7 or 8 years. Plus, I somehow neglected to bring my good camera with me to Florida, and so missed out on being able to shoot the really good lightning we saw there.
