April 11, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. The Storm.

We three arrived home from the consignment shops with a truck full of furniture.  Fortunately, we got home before the storm hit.  First heavy rain, followed by even heavier rain.  Then thunder and lightning sweeping the area.   One bolt of lighting and clap of thunder was so loud and close that both Wendy and I jumped.   The immediate response was to go to bed, but it was only 8:00.  For a few minutes, the storm subsides but soon the rain comes followed by the wind and thunder and lightning.  The officials have extended the flood warning until midnight.

Meanwhile our furniture stays in the truck.  The forecast is for rain tomorrow, but sure we will be able to move the stuff into the garage.  Wendy hopes to go for a run but she can not do that in the rain, especially if we have another storm.

This storm has been spectacular.   So much rain that our fireplace has drips of water covering the wood.  That has never happened before.  The best place to be in a storm in Mississippi is at home. Today we three just got lucky.
