I've never seen an actual tornado (which I'm fine with), but I once saw three waterspouts on Lake Michigan at the same time. That was really cool.

I went out and mowed just the front yard tonight. Takes about 45 mins. Even at 7:30pm its 95 degrees with heat index of 108. Supposed to rain after 10pm, which will make tomorrow even more humid. August in Missouri SUCKS.

I beat the rain this year and got all my hay baled and put up. Shits coming down hard, lightning and booming ass thunder. Power just went out… ****. It’s a monsoon outside.

Damn lightning seems like it could trigger a seizure. Strobe lighting the shit out of my bedroom.

Tomato plants took a beating.

Where you at 3 bag?

Damn you bitches. I’d pay good money for a good storm. (Without the hail, I’ve had enough of that).

That storm reached all the way to Lawrence, KS. Power outages everywhere.
