Strange days

Weiiiiiiiiiiiiiird weather we're having here. Case and I have been outside for an hour or so, enjoying the break between rainstorms. But the thunder has started and so we headed for cover. It is loud and strange, like a kettle drum.I am so glad that the wind doesn't freak Case out any more, two years ago we never would have been able to go outside in wind like this.


It's really dark right now, but before we came inside the light was really strange. High rippling cloud cover that seemed to act like a giant polarizer making everything a little too vivid.


Totally tornado weather.

The funny thing is that this morning I got a phone call asking if we were being evacuated. At the time of the call it was beautiful outside; light rain, bright skys. Nope, no evacs, there is no planning for tornados. Hurricanes come with advance warnings-days and sometimes a week in advance. You have a crazy thunderstorm, then -tadaa! Tornado.

I think Colorado weather has everything beat. On our way back from Grand Junction today, it was raining mud. Almost to the point of scratching the windows! Last week it snowed mud - when it stopped, everything was muddy - the slopes and everyon's cars!. We thought the rain would give our car a wash, but just more mud!.
