It's October, and...
October 19, 2010

Living in the Mojave Desert region of California, I love it when it rains, but dear God, I HATE thunderstorms!

It's not likely that thunderstorms arrive in my neck of the woods -- and even rarer when such storms linger overnight. This is actually only the second time I've ever witnessed such a storm lingering overnight; the first was about 2-3 years ago in September.

The present thunderstorm has been in the area since about 1:00a PDT, and the lightning is still flashing, the thunder is still rolling, and my nerves are shaking. I'm finding it hard to get some good sleep, which sucks because I have an important college class I have to attend in the afternoon.

I hate thunderstorms.

..for some reason, a good rain-shower and a thunderstorm makes me relax. It's Beaufort 10 fairly often where I live, and eventually things that aren't tied down just disappear, basically.

I don't know. It's refreshing in some way, I think. Even if the danger is real when it's going on. But if you spend some time at sea, or near the sea during a storm like that, you kind of learn to respect it instead of just fearing it, I think..

Well, this recent thunderstorm was, by far, the wildest I can recall. Usually, thunderstorms in the Lancaster/Palmdale area (north of L.A.) last only about an hour or two. However, this one lasted for nearly two days!

See, on the forums, this first post looks like this...

It's October and "I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Isn't that Halloween, really?

You know... it is. I'm going to use that.

It really shouldn't be "It's October and I reject your reality and subsitute my own". Seriously!

What happened was this: , I accidentally tapped my return key before I actually added the main content.

I live relatively close to a busy street in a city, so thunderstorms mean less traffic, and they drown out whatever traffic there is.

Still, especially in a desert--ouch.

It's October, and I'm a horror nut, and I haven't watched nearly enough horror movies this month. Just raved about them on Facebook instead...
