Thunder and lightning in Seattle

By Jack Brummet


Midnight, Friday:  What a great lightning storm tonightfrom giant balls to hydra-limbed bolts raining down, and sometimes looking like they were shooting up*from*, and not to, earth [1]. The lightning dances across the sky and I hear the muffled, slow-rolling thunder circle in the clouds overhead, and I'm swallowed up in the soft percussion of the warm falling rain.

[1] Someone just told me that lightning goes both up AND down.
