Not when it's been happening virtually every other day Year-to-date and we are already some 4" over where we should be and it's only march.

Yes, and unrelated to the common atmospheric electrical discharge! :p

That's like an Athalon! :)

Couldn't resist!

Cheers!

Yeah it just started up here. This weather reminds me of springs in the midwest (growing up in Indiana) and I find it completely normal having only lived in Texas for about 1.5 years. When we get 70 days in a row without rain (like last summer) times like this seem a blessing :)

I know. At least the area lakes are now brimming...but I'm hoping for a (safely) dry summer, where it rains maybe once a week; last summer for example it rained every other day in June, but then didn't rain again till September, lololololol. That sucked but I can't say that that isn't how I don't want my summer. Dry, clear, poolside...

guyver01,

Yeah, I've had it happen to me once. It was really weird. :) I play CS way too much, everyday, for the past 4 or so months, and I've only been hit once. :D

Floriduh is the lightning capitol of the US. The most audio/visually spectacular lightning storm I've ever seen was in Guangzhou, China. Totally awesome. Made Foriduh's look lame. They probably stole it.
