Thunderstorms and Pictures

Tonight it rained. A lot.

I’m terrified of storms. Well. Not all storms. But the ones that produce tornadoes. I’m not sure why I’m scared of these really. The odds of survival are in my favor I suppose. Not many people are killed by tornadoes afterall.

But anyways. Tonight there were tornado threats and lightning. So much lightning. Thunder was shaking my dorm room.

After a while the tornado threats wore off and Amanda and I went and played in the rain. It was brilliant. We hadn’t done that in a few months. It felt good to do it again. To stand in the middle of the J-Bowl. Feeling the water pouring off of my body. Seeing the flashes of lightning ignite the sky.

I was powerless. Completly vulnerable to the night sky. And the weird thing was that in that moment. I wasn’t scared. It didn’t concern me that I was cold. Or that I was standing in the middle of a lightning storm. All that mattered was that moment.

The above sounds cliche, I suppose, but it is nonetheless true..

Tonight was awesome because Me and Elder and Mabe took goofy pics for a while. It was fun. Check em out:
