What's This Wet Stuff Coming From the Sky?

My family picked Breanne and I up from the airport and we ate at Cracker Barrel. I was in need of some good old fashioned comfort food Midwest style. Mexican is good, but give me mashed potatoes and this girl is happy.

We're now on our way home and headed straight through a storm. We noticed the sky turn an eery color and the clouds grow heavy when we made a shopping stop. The wind blew strongly against us as we ran inside.

But now, as we are traveling, we realize- oh it's just a thunderstorm! Guess its just been so long since we've seen wet stuff fall from the sky!

Perhaps too long. We just passed a fire along the highway. Dad says probably from lightning striking dry ground. Firefighters are out there now. Traffic slowed down for a while, but we are back up to speed now.

Wow- its been quite the night!
