oooooo, we have a big thunderboomer on the way! Lighting, wind, the whole shabang!
Just put ant killer on my lawn. Good timing as it should rain right after. Now watch, it'll all miss me.

Actually no! 90 % of it missed me. Mostly it went south of Grand Rapids, that is, on the south end of town. Places like Holland Michigan (about 35 miles west of here) received over 7" of rain and have terrible flooding problems. The south end of GR also received a lot of rain and has some flooding issues.
We wound up with some lightening, thunder, and some rain but, nothing severe at all. We lucked out this time.
South of GR had tornado watches too.

Get this: We just ended a 29 day dry spell!! Really breaks the Pacific Northwest stereotype. I can't believe I'm actually glad to see a little rain. The humidity jumped from the low 40's to the mid-50's this past week. I'm thinking about all the pianos I tuned last month...

Thanks Howowitzian!
Holy cow Ryan. 29 days? Wow.
Here, it goes from cold to humid in a matter of hours and can reverse in minutes when a storm rolls in. Sometimes, it'll rain for a whole month on and off and can be very cloudy at times. Other times, it's beautiful. Hope that doesn't scare you people off! Michigan really is a pretty state. Take some extra time to travel up and over the Mackinaw Bridge if you can!

Still in the upper 90's this week. Summer is short here in Michigan so we enjoy the weather while we can get it!
