And Then The Clouds Opened Up And Swallowed The World
Posted by Qais Fulton
After months of blissful 65 degree days with skies gray as wet stone (that led me to dream of a summer in which I wouldn’t have to pack my scarf away) Seattle seems to have suddenly realized it is in fact summer now and has been doing its damnedest to catch up. Today, the wretched twin bitches of Seattle in the summertime, cloudless heat and obnoxious humidity, ran rampant.
But my fair city has had enough, lashing out from the clouds we know and passive-aggressively love so well to break the wretched heat and provide we nocturnal, coffee-swilling albinos with a much needed respite, a beautiful display, and a lovely crashing accompaniment.
Lightning! [Seattle]

We Washington types indeed have an attraction for the very rare display of thunder and lightning here. Once on a road trip to Minnesota my son and I got to be at Mt. Rushmore while a spectacular lightning storm kicked in around it. We had no sense of any danger and celebrated out amid the crashes while the more savvy local types hunkered down in the buildings.

And if it’s anything like up here (where it’s still going on), it hasn’t dropped below sixty degrees.
