Bad bad bad week.
AC not fixed till Wednesday. Much to hot for me plus the worst was yet to come.
Thursday morning at 7:30 a storm blew in over the Catalinas (picture below) and dropped a huge amount of rain. At 8 am the thunder and lighting hit right above my home. The boom and crack was deafening. Blew out and fried the modem. Knocked out all the internet/computer. Woe.
I can't really complain we need the rain but we could use less thunder and lighting !
iwinston did not understand the deafening noise but was ready to jump in and battle.and
battle the monster.
Agatha ran for any space she could find.
The last 4 years we have a very quiet monsoon but this year all hell has broken out. Storms every day loud crashing storms and the lighting strikes have been overwhelming.
The Vaisala Company (Tucson) detects real time storms and lighting data world over. Our weather maps shows the amount of strikes and where they are happening.
Agatha is so exhausted from all these storms.
Some pretty for the start of the weekend.

Dramatic skies Gayle - and I love that cartoon at the end.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon is so great.
DeleteWe are getting a storm right now with lots of thunder. Lights have flashed a couple of times. It has rained almost every afternoon or night for 2 weeks. We do need it.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting storms every day not like the ones we had. These storms come at different times than they did when I was younger and up to about 4 years ago.
DeleteWe do need the rain everything has really greened up the last few days.
Poor Agatha. While I do love a good thunder storm, having so many in a row and so close is quite a different story! Hopefully, some of the rain involved helped to put out a few wild fires and not start any new ones! Wishing you a quiet and peaceful weekend friend Gayle. X
ReplyDeleteThe monsoons now are not at all like the ones I grew up with and till about maybe 8 years ago they have changed.
DeletePoor Agatha! The booms from those storms would scare me, I can imagine how scared Agatha must have been. The cat café cartoon is great.
ReplyDeleteShe does not like even the stronger rain.
DeleteGreat photos. Poor Agatha. That lightening strike that blew your modem must have been frightening.
ReplyDeleteWe could use some of your rain. It's been a very dry year.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. The weather repost show so much rain to the east.
DeleteWe need more. Such a dry year. Not much snow over the winter so river water levels are low. They're starting to recover a little now.
DeleteSounds scary! So much drama in the weather around the globe! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteToo much weather Mother Nature is mad !
DeletePoor Agatha. She needs lots of hugs.
ReplyDeleteThunder can be hard on so many dogs. I'm fortunate mine isn't bothered. Love that purple/pink flower!
ReplyDeleteScary for Agatha but glad you're getting some rain. It has been a very rainy summer here so far- a banner year for mosquitoes. Love that cartoon!
ReplyDeleteAC that's not working is miserable in a hot climate. So often it thunders and thunders here and terrifies my poor doggies. We don't always have the storm--just the thunder.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
