Just before that storm hit, I thought it would be a great time to go for a mountain bike ride out past Garnet Lake...so I was out in the middle of it too. So scary, so wet, and so stupid to be out there at all. Even once I got back to the car and started driving back, it was somewhat terrifying. Constant thunder, lightning crashing all around, water pouring in new rivers down every slope...nasty! Jeremy's last blog post..On Beauty

Wow! Talk about scary! We were there this past weekend, those were some pretty incredible storms. We get storms here too, but what never ceases to amaze me is how the Okanagan recovers in what seems like minutes. In almost the blink of an eye you go from fear inducing thunder crashes to sunshine and refreshed air. Here, when the storms are finished you’re left with gloomy clouds and the smell of cow poo, great.

After having kids, my outlook on storms isn’t the same. I hate them. Maybe I should think about moving from Tornado alley. Glad your husband or your house didn’t get struck by lightening.

I used to love the thrill that came with a storm! I would be so scared, yet it would be so cozy inside the house…That was until our house got hit with lightning. Did a lot of damage, but could have been a lot worse. Thank goodness for “Act of God” insurance!
