It's what I do when I'm told I'll get at least a little storm, and all I get is some rain the next morning.
Around 7 pm I walked outside to feel the approach of the storm I had anticipated all day, but as I stepped out the door, I realized with a sense of disappointment that it didn't feel like it was going to storm anytime soon (there's normally a certain quality to the air and the sky before storms). But I've been wrong about such predictions before, so I decided to check the weather radar. The massive storm had started to dissolve, and looked like it would pass north of the little hamlet of Finneytown. I sat next to my open window later into the night than I should have, hoping to see some lightning or hear a bit of thunder at least. But there wasn't anything. We got some beautiful rain this morning which made me happy, but it was kind of a let-down after getting so excited about the storm. It passed just north of me, so some of you probably got part of it. I envy you.

I got a storm, and it had thunder and lightening. I was outside with my umbrella at the time, first in a field, then in the trees. Yes, I threw safety to the wind, which, incidentally, the storm also brought.
So you stole my precious!
I once tried to climb into a tree and sit there to watch a thunderstorm come in. But then my mom saw me and "busted a cap", as all the cool kids would say. As fun as it would be there is no throwing safety to the wind with a mother like mine.
