My weather radio just went off here in my office and scared the crap outta me!!!! Severe thunderstorm warning.

A major storm system is bearing down on us here and it's really dark out. Our dogs can hear the distant thunder and, no sir, they don't like it one bit!!!

Dunno if I'm going to go downstairs to my gym and work out or not this morn. I hate to be down there and have the power go out.

Hey! It's as good of an excuse as any, right?

My cats are dumb.

They like a good thunderstorm. They sit glued to the window to watch the flashes of lightning. The thunder doesn’t seem to bother them at all.

When the heavy rain comes they just try to paw the rain as it runs down the outside of the windows.

Show them a cat carrier and it’s game on to catch them.

I think perhaps they are broken. They are unlike any cats I have had before.

The weather is "normal" here in Anacortes, WA. Currently: 62 degrees, 3-5 MPH sea breeze, humidity at 80%, and sunny skies. We experienced the usual morning low clouds but by 10 AM they started burning off very quickly. The high today will be 71 and the overnight low will be 55 degrees. I've been in my little rental here in western Washington for a month and a half now. In that time, I have not had the need for either heat or AC in the house. Most afternoons are screed door days. But the house temperature stays right at 68-72 degrees. This is a good summer retreat. Stay safe..... Jim
