Thunder storm

Yesterday I woke up in the wee little hours of the morning during a Thunder Storm. The first thing I did was Thank God for the rain as we are in the 3 worst drought in recorded history. Then I laid in bed listening to the thunder roll, thinking is that a train whistle? Thunder here is not a gentle rolling, no it is a freight train coming at your house, it roars, it snarls and I get up to watch TV in case the warning signal comes on. I am the only person in my house who is awake standing guard against the natural forces. You see I am afraid of tornadoes, and since I have never been part of a tornado I am afraid of the loud booming, thunder. It never fails I wake up and I am unable to go back to sleep until the storm has calmed. So I went to the living room to watch whatever was on at 2 in the morning on the 4 channels we get. Flashing lightening filled the room, the thunder filled me with worry and on the Zubo (a cartoon channel) He-man. For a moment I was reminded of watching it with my brother when we were much younger. Just a brief flash of us together as small children. I wonder if he still likes He-man. I settled on Everybody Hates Chris, a cooking show on Ion a little blond woman making a meal for two complete with a cocktail I wonder why he hands is shaking, and finally According to Jim. After two hours the storm moved on so that it was not so loud and I was able to sleep. Still fear and all I am thankful for the rain.
