We had tornado warnings for my county earlier this evening which is highly and most unusual for my area. A small batch of strong thunderstorms was headed directly my way from the northwest and I watched them coming in on the weather radar. I got busy doing my storm thing! The storms were not bad at all when they passed over though my internet connection was knocked out for a few moments so I had to reset and reboot the system. No biggie!
Three tenths of an inch of rain fell which is fine with me since it’s better than no rain at all. I was telling my buddy this afternoon we would have to do a rain dance because it’s been so dry. We had some rain afterall so someone must have been listening. 
I don’t care how much one waters, those plants respond better to that polluted rain.
6-1-07 Note: Someone was talking about the storm last night and at her place in town the wind bent over trees and the rain was a blinding deluge. Hmm. The storm was mild here, two miles away at most as the crow flies.
It’s a female who has birthed many calves and she lives off of the New England coast. The Sacramento whales, Delta and Dawn, inspired me to do so. I’ll bet many people felt inspired by the famous mother and calf’s journey in various ways.
