As a transplant from the East Coast, I continue to be amazed at the weather in Texas. I could spend time complaining about the early heat (yeah, 110 degrees 2 days ago combined with the heat index), but that would be overstating the obvious.
While living on Cape Cod, I saw/stood within many storms, sea changes, and strong winds. If anything, I miss the East Coast winds, so good for clearing out stagnant energies, and, when my ears are properly tuned, hearing far away tales. Here, the real story in the sky is the lightning...powerful,vibrant and fierce. While there's always an inherent risk to standing on a porch watching the bolts flame thru the sky, I often become transfixed - waiting for the next appearance in a dark sky. Not surprisingly, the longest recorded bolt was near Dallas, Texas — nearly 118 miles (190 km) long, and pencil thin! How cool is that?
