Its A Flood

It is the first of January in northwest Ohio and we had a thunder storm last night. As we were eating dinner, the sky lit up with a non-stop display of lights and the boom of thunder. I do not remember having a storm like that this time of year. I remember a thunderstorm in late November / early December but never in January. It must be that pesky global warming again. After all, it was cold in December but now that it is winter and everything has thawed. It just couldn't be a normal climate change for good old mother earth.

We went out last night to get a cordless phone. The last one we purchased, mysteriously disappeared about two months ago and we have been using a corded one as a replacement. It keeps falling off the counter when you are trying to multitask at dinner time so we took the plunge. Of course we braved the storm to make this shopping trip. After purchasing the phone, we drove to Home Depot to pick up some more tile for the floor. The quote came back and we need one more box to make sure there are no holes in the corners.

On the way to the store, we noticed parking lots were filled with water and the ditches were gushing like angry rivers. Whoever put the stores in did not plan on both the melt from snow and the freak thunder storm last night. It looked like you could fish in the McDonald's parking lot if you had brought a boat. I just hope that global warming hurries up and we get that nice Florida weather all year. It will certainly lower the heating bills.
