BAM!
I’m sitting here, minding my business and casually reading a book in bed and then — BAM!
There goes a bright flash of light. I can see it in the window, tonight is one of those nights where I leave the shades open. A thunder shot echos across the land. It rumbles for a good 20 seconds. The thin glass windows to my room rattle with the force of the thunder. As if to confirm that I am not easily startled, car alarms going off in the distance, dogs barking. I think I jumped a good two feet from my mattress.
Then silence. Then the soft prattle of rain. I go outside to take a look — the clouds don’t look menacing at all from where I am. I am confused. Weather.com says it’s clear with 0% chance of precipitation. My ass.
