We Know Them And Expect Them From Time To Time. I Am Referring To Thunderstorms And Tornado's. Danville Illinois Is Located In The Midwest Of The United States. I'm Not Sure If Illinois Is Included In The Tornado Alley Of The Midwest But This Part Of The Country Can Be Downright Unpredictable. I Won't Even Mention The Winter Months. I Will Blog About That Another Day.
April Through June Can Bring Some Rather Heavy Thunderstorms Here In The Midwest. This Spring Of 2009 Has Been Rather Odd. We Would Have A Couple Days Of Nice Temperatures, Then We Would Have A Cold Snap. This Type Of Weather Has Been Going On The Past Couple Of Months. Tonight We Had A Storm System Roll Through And Came With It Were Tons Of Memories Of Storms Past.
I Have Always Been Fascinated With Storms. Yes Lighting, Thunder, Hail, Wind & Rain! On Occasion There Will Be A Tornado Touch Down In The Area. With Each Storm I Stay Tuned To The Police Scanner Listening To Storm Reports.
My Grandson Called Tonight. He Too Is Fascinated With Storms. He Will Be 10 Years Old In A Week Or So. He Is Always Full Of Questions About Storms Or Tornado's.
Billie And I Were Sitting On The Front Porch Waiting For The Storm To Reach Us. It Was Dark With The Exception Of Lightning Strikes In The Distance.
I Then Wondered About My Sister-In law In Southern California. Ever Hear The Song That Says It Never Rains In Southern California? Well I'm Sure It Does Rain In Southern California But Nothing Like It Does In Illinois. Her And My Brother Tuck Will Be Moving To Danville This Coming November. Just In Time For Winter! Hahaha!!
The Most Obvious Is Wanting To See Her Reaction To The First Cold Spell Or The First Real Snowstorm. However Being From Southern California I Would Like To Sit With Her During Her First Midwest Thunderstorm. Will She Be Fascinated Or Scared Out Of Her Wits? I Have No Idea How She Will React. We Are Accustomed To These Storms And We Grow Into The Experience Of Them. Put An Adult In A Situation That Is Out Of Their Zone, Expect Anything.
I Will Most Likely Always Enjoy Storms And Everything That Comes Along With It.
I Think I Will Go Out And Sit On The Front Porch And Watch The Lightning.
