As I cook dinner I can feel my face burning. I can feel the stream of sweat drip down the nape of my neck, only to be absorbed by my shirt. The t.v. was on and I can hear the meteorologist go on about the weather. It was a hot, muggy day and no suprise that a thunderstorm was developing. It was 93 degrees and dewpoint was in the 70's. Crazy hot huh? Well, that's typical of Minnesota's weather; hot and humid in the summer, but freeing cold in the winter.
I looked out the window and can see the dark clouds developing. Wall clouds they say, and they're potentially dangerous. Hide if you'd like. I am terrified of storms. I stay 10 feet away from any windows in the house, usually. I hate it when lightning strikes; I may be next, who knows!
I quickly closed the windows and turn of the stove. Dinner was ready. I quickly ate and by the time I was done, the sky was completely gray. Wall clouds moved in and took over the sky. I got up and grabbed my camera. I opened the back door and stepped outside. I took a few photos before the winds blew in. The storm moved in quickly and it started sprinkling tiny drops of rain. Less than thirty seconds later, it started pouring without warning! The storm lasted for thirty minutes and it felt like my whole life. What an ugly storm.
