Distant Rumblings
There are some extremely dark clouds moving over my building from the south. Very "dark and storm night"-ish. My nurse is trying to take some pictures with my digicam, so we'll see if any of those turn out. Lightning is sheeting across the sky; it almost has a purple tinge to it. I can see the running lights of planes descending through the clouds as they make for the airport. Quite a show. I wonder if I should get away from my computer. Nah, this building is one ginormous grounding wire. I'm pretty sure I'm safe.
Speaking of weather pr0n, here's a slick Flash presentation from National Geographic showcasing the successful placement of a probe in the path of an oncoming tornado.

Having been raised in PA where lightning is a real menace out on the farms, I'm scared to death of it.
Then a lady here in San Antonio was at her computer when lightning came through her bathroom hit her at the computer knocking her on the floor.
So I turn off and unplug. :-)
