- First of all, I had the worst migraine yesterday. My vow to stay away from caffeine was lost by the afternoon. Nothing got rid of this headache: A cup of cappuccino, ibuprofren, Coca-Cola, a 2nd cappuccino, putting in my contacts. Nothing helped, so it wasn't a great day. I survived only b/c of the Doctor Who marathon that was running for this latest season. (Not a fan of it, by the way).
- Last night we had the creepiest, strangest, eeriest storm ever. My parents were sitting out in the front like they always do, but decided to come in. Mom said it was just too hot and the mosquitoes were biting really bad.
So they go in, and just a few minutes later I'm on my way downstairs when I look out the windows in the gallery area. The sky was the dirtiest brown color with lots of low lying clouds. I mean really DIRTY looking brown and bright orange. It was still kind of sunny in the back, so when I told Mom to look out the window she thought I was nuts b/c she had just come inside and it was sunny as could be.
In short, it was EERIE. Seriously, it didn't feel like an act of Mother Nature. It was VERY windy and it took a while for the rain to get here. Everybody was outside in their front or backyards, taking pictures and video. In their cars, people were speeding home. (People always speed around here, but last night it was worse. You could sense their urgency to get home quick as they could). The whole atmosphere was just CREEPY. It felt like at any moment spaceships were gonna descend on us. Lol! Sounds silly, but that seriously is how it felt. Everyone said it. It was all just very surreal and felt like something really horrible was just waiting to pounce.
I didn't get to film the brown and orange sky, or the worst of the wind because I was busy getting the cats in the laundry room and calming down the dogs. I was hoping something of that would show up on YouTube, but it hasn't. I didn't even think of filming it then b/c I was so sure a tornado was on it's way. I just wanted the animals safe, and this storm was coming in QUICK. The wind was like a hurricane when the storm first rolled in, and later on Mom said the lightening was high up and flashing across a wide area. Like really big bucket flashes. (I was inside then, so I didn't see it. I knew what she meant though b/c that's how the lightening was for hours when they were out of town that night for Dad's job interview. It stormed like that until after midnight).
Usually I LOVE a good thunderstorm down here, but yesterday I was creeped out. I didn't enjoy it at all. Only when it started raining did it start feeling like a normal storm. The air actually got pretty cool, which was awesome beyond belief. I loved that!
One more thing that was strange was that there were no weather bulletins about this thing anywhere. Not a one.
