Fabulous Weather

The clouds descending on the city are so thick and black that even though it is only mid-afternoon it's almost dark enough for the street-lights to come on. There is lightning and the rumble of thunder. A vicious wind is making the trees dance and the rain is coming down in buckets. I can see people scurrying around on the street below, caught off guard without umbrellas. I wish I could go home right now and have a drink on the balcony and smell the rain. I love a good storm.

Well, that was interesting

That lovely storm I just mentioned in the previous post-- the building I work in was actually *hit* by lightning and one of the UPS's in the server room fried. Everything is always set up "just in case", but this is the first actual "case" of being hit by lightning I've ever had to contend with.
