The weather continues to be in the news. I don’t remember a year that the weather played so much havoc across the country. We had a line of storms roll through on Sunday with some spectacular lightning (and some much needed rain). There were trees toppled by the wind and fires caused by the lightning.  A nearby apartment caught on fire…. (all the people were safe).

Sunday evening….

and Monday morning….

    hi Susan, Unfortunately summertime thunderstorms are the not so nice part of summer. I'm so glad everyone is safe from the apartment fire. Your photos show what heros our fire fighters are. Thanks for sharing.
    Thanks for hosting Ourdoor Wednesday.

    I am not looking forward to hurricane season...except for some of the tropical moisture it would bring to all the parched areas...in moderation, please. There are so many fires here in FL...it's quite scary. The woods/lake behind my house is so dry. I am getting lots of signs of wildlife in populated areas, looking for water. Thankfully, we have has rain for the past 3 days...the first since the last day of March!

    Susan, Pictures like this always send a shiver down my spine. Our house burned down when I was in third grade...I remember it so well because it was the day of our class trip. Although no one was home and no one was hurt, it took months to rebuild our house...I can still conjure up the smell of burned everything. This was actually a very good post...reminds people to be careful.

    So glad everyone was OK in that fire. Feel bad for them losing everything but those are just things. I think things are just beginning for summer weather and fire season. Praying for all to be safe.

    PS
    Those storms were terrible the other night. I've never experienced such fierce lightening so close to my home before. The devastation to that apartment complex and another home nearby is overwhelming.

    So glad that everyone was safe.

    I know several wives of fireman and Ithey face such dangers each day. We had those horrible tornadoes come through our area on April 27th ( my birthday) and it seems our weather has been especially violent this year. Thanks for honoring these heroes!

    Those raging fire were so scary! Luckily the people were all alright but still damage to their properties and belongings were devastating. Brace yourself for the coming hurricanes! Take care..

    your shots are great, but it would have been better without that opportunity.

    The weather is weird in many places now. I guess we have to get used to it. :(

    Too bad about the apartment loss....but golly, you're getting rainstorms. That is more than we're getting here in TX with all the drought.

    Have a great Wednesday!!!

    We have had so much rain around here that the field behind our house could be considered a swimming pool! I don't know what is up with the weather, but it just seems bad everywhere in some form or another. I hope this is a freak year!

    My thoughts have been the same, Susan. We've had so much devastating weather, and we aren't even into hurricane season yet! Thank goodness no one was hurt in that fire. I pray we will make it through the season unscathed.

    Have a fun 4th, and thanks for hosting.
