A very near thunder clap woke me up from the early moments of my sleep.
This storm has intensified quite a lot. It is no longer just to the South although the South East is still where it is most prominent. Lightning flashes are occurring every few seconds and are rapid in succession. The thunder is loud, but not quite overhead and the rain is only light. I hope it isn't this dry where the strikes are happening because the chance of fire is high in that case.
This reminds me of a vacation I spent in Upstate New York when I was younger. A large electric storm was happening and we turned all the lights off to watch it. I felt save in that old Victorian house. That's not exactly how I feel now. I don't feel unsafe... More uneasy... I know there are some dead trees around me, and a medium sized dead branch above me, but I picked the best spot available.
The storm is equal parts exhilarating and frightening, and neither of those things are helping me sleep.
