Looked out a window as I was about to get in the car to run some errands at noon today; it was looking rather dark and menacing outside
I turned away from the car door, and went over by the window to see a bird zoom across the yard into the safety of a big pine tree with huge leafy branches; and the first fat drops of rain began to come down. I’m glad I hadn’t left the house before the deluge started. I’d hate to be caught scurrying along a sidewalk getting all wet.
I found out later that there had been a tornado just fifteen miles from here.

Thanks Madhu. I can’t believe how dark it got for a while. The rain included hail, and was really something.
