Storm Clouds

As anyone in the Midwest knows, the arrival of a good storm can be an exhilarating experience! We often anticipate the weather, spotting the dark clouds beginning to gather, feeling the shift in humidity, and catching that distinct scent of rain approaching. Storms can appear unexpectedly, prompting us to rush for cover, or they may slowly build in the afternoon sky, adding to the anticipation. At night, the stunning flashes of lightning and the deep rumble of thunder create an unforgettable atmosphere. I vividly remember how my mom would gather my brothers and me downstairs, urging us to open the picture window so we could enjoy the spectacle of nature. We would eagerly count the seconds between each thunderclap and lightning bolt to determine whether the storm was advancing toward us or moving away. To this day, I still cherish a good thunderstorm (as long as everyone stays safe, of course!).
