flashboomflashCRACK!

Last night, a little after midnight, we had the most amazing thunderstorm I've ever experienced in Massachusetts, and one of the most dramatic I can remember ever. It went on for a good 45 minutes at least, with torrential rain, more than one flash a second at times, and remarkably loud thunder. I half expected to find a neighborhood tree had been hit, because some of them were definitely of the simultaneous-flash-and-crack variety. Those make me nervous, but otherwise I enjoyed it. I didn't have a very good view from my house (and I wasn't keen on wandering around outside in it!), but the flashes of light did do interestingly stroboscopic things to the view.

Geeky pleasures.

This morning has been the most fun I've had at my job in a long time. Why?

Because I've been looking up and comparing climate data for various places in California.

I am such a geek.
