Heh.. When I was at Ft. Benning, we heard notice that there was a severe weather warning for, say, 4:30pm to 6:30pm. It was 4:15, and we looked out at the sky... completely clear, not a cloud in sight. Fifteen minutes later, it was raining harder than I'd ever seen in my life, and we had plenty of lightning to go along with it. Go figure..

I heard some thunder last night, and it started to rain when I went to sleep.

It's very hot and muggy outside... which is definitely great potential thunderstorm weather. Think Florida - most thunderstorms of all the states per unit area.
