Writer's Block: And the forecast is…

Hot, then stormy. I love when a summer day starts out beautiful, with bright blue skies and fluffy white cumulus for the productive hours of the day. Then in mid-afternoon, the clouds get taller, darker, and heavier, the humidity increases, and the air feels thick and tense. A far-off rumble of thunder breaks the silence and soon streaks of lightning are visible in the distance. The wind picks up and rain is soon to follow, and within minutes I'm in the middle of a violent storm, the wind whipping the trees and rain lashing the windows. It's even more exciting if there's hail or threat of a tornado. Everything is exciting and dramatic.
After several minutes, the storm leaves even more quickly than it arrives. The rain and wind dissipates, leaving nothing but an open sky strewn with colorful clouds-- and sometimes, depending on timing, even a sunset.
And that's pretty much a perfect day, weather-wise, for me. Where I grew up these days were common in summer. I'd probably love to live someplace tropical, where at certain times of year this entire show is a daily event.
