We belong to the Thunder


Today at Six o'clock in the morning there were two tremendous lighting and thunder blasts. It practically bounced us out of bed. It was so loud it felt like it hit our house. What was more ominous was that the second blast had a sound that continue after the initial sound. It really sounded like the aftermath of a bomb explosion. I actually thought that it might have been a nuclear blast that I heard. 

It that fucked up or what?

The same sound was heard in NYC. From the New York Post:

"The reason for the figuratively “super charged” thunder was a temperature inversion sat over New York City. To those on the ground, the temperature was 51 degrees but up around 900 feet, the temperature had warmed to 54 degrees, instead of the usual cooling with height.

That inversion can trap sound waves near the surface, according to FOX Weather Meteorologist and Data Weather Specialist Shane Brown."

I guess we are all getting jumpy with the situation of having a senile dumpster fire as President and an ego maniac in Russia who is losing the plot.

Not the way you want to start the day.

When I was a teenager, a bolt of lightning struck right outside my bedroom window, and, yes, there was a split second between the flash and the bang. After I peeled my self off the ceiling, I turned on the radio to calm down.

I got Iron Butterfly's I Am the God of Hell Fire.

An illustrative episode from my adolescence.
