we are having an amazing thunderstorm! it is HUGE! so huge and crazy that we can make out individual lightning bolts through the stained glass windows in our living room.

the dog is very verklempt. we all know izzie was never one for loud noises. (the kid is totally asleep in this weird hindu-god-like contortion; he hasn’t budged during all of the thunder and lightning and his mom and dad’s hootin’ and hollerin’ …)

it’s totally tornado weather, too. if i was at my grandma’s house in kansas, we’d have one foot in the a basement with this storm.

whoa, and the storm just tripped the power strip in the living room, too. crazy!

holy crap! we are watching the mets game RIGHT NOW (after resetting the surge protector), and the field is a big-ol’ dust storm with the wind … the storm is on its way to the city! billy wagner and scott schoeneweis are helping the grounds crew cover the field with the tarp … and they CHARGED onto the field to help out … god, i love my mets!

(i hope you all appreciate the real-time reporting.)
