You expect it in Wa, not OK....

The radar map looks pretty clear right now. But I’m wondering as it heats up today, if that will kick up storms because of all the humidity...

That’s the thing about the weather around here. Most of the time when we get summer rain we get it in the form of an ear-busting thunderstorm. We just barely missed one on our Saturday ride. It had been sunny and hot all day long but started thundering just as we got within sight of town and by the time I drove off there came this clap of thunder that sounded like it was right on top of us. It scared Bob and Grace so bad that I could feel the trailer just rocking as I was driving away. Another girl wasn’t so lucky though. Her horse was in a larger stock-type trailer and her horse spooked so bad that she fell down in the trailer and then couldn’t get up because she was hanging by her trailer tie and her legs went every which way and she got all tangled up in the trailer mats to boot. They got her trailer tie undone, but they had to pull out all the trailer mats before she could get up, and of course it was pouring down rain at that point. When she finally got up she was fine, but it sure scared everybody. I was just glad that we weren’t out riding still when it blew up.
