More flash and bang

I've just spent half an hour, an hour, watching a thunderstorm and the people in the Delta Chelsea across the street watching the storm. I thought I saw a very localized reflection of lighting in the windows of the hotel, but it was someone with a flash camera taking pictures. I'd love to see if any of them turned out.

I was chatting to Bitter over Facebook; the storm was full force in Georgetown, but not a whisper here. Within half an hour the sky was lighting up and the rain was pouring down.

Someone from the Vancouver office was here this week and caught Monday's storm. She'd never seen anything like it, being from the Lower Mainland.

I swear I saw a bolt of lightning right through another building across the street. Then five minutes later I saw all the lights come back on for several floors. Fuckin' fantastic!

Like a frightened mole

Crazy thunderstorms and heavy rain tonight. I haven't seen this much thunder and lightning (okay, heard thunder and seen lightning) since Alberta. I've experienced lightning about three times since coming to BC and more than that in the last two weeks.

Bitter took the Go Train this afternoon out to the country (Georgetown) to stay with family, so it's Jaded and Ebow for the next week.

Got caught in a downpour on the way home from work. Sunny all day, then it decides to rain about two minutes after I leave the building. I was able to duck into the PATH (the underground mall downtown) and make it almost all the way home (with a stop at the LCBO without leaving the safety of the tunnels). This was good practice for winter.
