Storms over SE KS

     Last night 3 seperate and nasty thunderstorms came through SE Kansas. The first we got to watch as it was mostly off to the north. (That's where the picture above came from, although Jon got much better ones with his Canon G2) The lightning was non-stop. Storms rarely do that in Ohio.
     The next storm came at 2:30am CDT, but that's not what woke me up. It was a 60lb dog panting and standing on my chest. Poor Maggie, she gets so freaked out by storms. I laid on the floor with her for a bit to try to calm her down. We all ended up watching the radar until the satellite internet connection pooped out. We got about .3 in. of rain from that one. The next storm came through at about 4am, no dog this time, but the wind and rain were very loud. Another .2 in. there. It's been awhile since a storm woke me up.
     I love watching storms, and out here where the sky is so big they're increedible. Jon and I must have taken about 50 pictures of lightning. It was just very cool to sit on the lanai and watch the light show. At least until I was sleeping...
