about 5 minutes ago, the sky went from twilighty to dark. And then I heard a roar in the distance, and over several seconds the wind picked up and it is now very, very scary out there....

Yeah, I called the kids in for dinner and then the sky went DARK and the wind picked up mightily. No booms yet.

We're getting thunder and lightning plus the wind and rain, I'm considering shutting down the computer if it gets much closer.

yeah, zero to thunder in just a couple of minutes.

Feh, it passed us quickly with just a few booms and nothing big.

Shortly after the rain ended here, we got this fabulous double rainbow, though. http://pics.livejournal.com/dancingdeer/pic/0003aahs

And soon after that we lost power for two hours. We went out for dinner, instead of staying home and eating cold beans. Going out for dinner turned out to be a bit difficult because the two nearest restaurants were also without power.

That's cool.

*nodnod* I was outside when it happened here; dark clouds overhead, not much wind. Then suddenly my ears popped, the wind hit like a wall, the temperature dropped about fifteen degrees (f), and it started raining. Quite the pressure front.
