so we had a bit of a storm last night (wednesday night into thursday morning), with severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings all over the place (the talking faces in the tv said a weak tornado caused some minor damage to argos, a town about 8 miles south of here).
that reminds me of a funny story: one evening during my freshman year in college in champaign, there were some rather nasty storms moving through. a kid from harrisburg, pennsylvania, who apparently had no experience with and a horrific fear of tornadoes (kinda like my earthquake phobia, i imagine), ran into my room shouting, "oh god! there's a report of a tornado in gibson city!" my friends and i all feigned shock, and i shrieked, "that's only 30 miles from here! we've gotta get down in the basement!" and the kid ran for the stairs and the underground, while we all laughed ourselves into nosebleeds. ah, good times, good times.
anyway, we just got some wind and a lot of rain here in plymouth, but it was the pre-storm lightning that was most impressive. here is a series of pics i took over a 10- or 15-second period. i think they're neat, and maybe you will too. and if you don't like them, it doesn't really matter. i'm not getting paid for this stuff.
