It's like Thunder, Lightning*....

Back in 1994, I spent the summer as a PA (production assistant) at the Porthouse Theatre in Kent, Ohio. My fondest memories? Standing at the top of a hill in Tonado alley to watch a funnel cloud form, meeting Scott "Doc" Davis, and Summer lightning storms in Ohio. They are WICKED cool! They can light up the entire sky, making it green.

I was always one of those odd kids who wasn't afraid of thunder and lightning. I LOVE it.

Right now, NYC is having a REALLY cool lightning storm. I've seen streaks and the sky light up - it's great!


*I don't want to lose the good thing that I've got
If I do, I will surely, I will lose a lot

For your love is better than any love other I've know
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby

I got superstitious about you, but I can't take change
You got me spinning, baby, spinning in a trance
But your love is better than any other love I've known
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
You better knock on wood

It's no secret, but that woman fills my lovin' cup
She sees, so ready, that I get enough
And her love is better than any other love I've known
It's like thunder
It's like lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby

Better, yes, better
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) Yes, I better
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) Oh, knock on wood
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) You know I would, would
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) It's no secret
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) No, oh, better
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) Hangin' above me
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) I can't leave her
(Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood) Oh no, baby

Knock on wood, WOO!

If you want more, come visit -- we've been promised a whole week fulla! Actually, they will probably happen at around 5 pm most days for the whole summer. I think it's an el nino thing.

There was a really great storm a few days ago. The lightning was jumping cloud-to-cloud and it was surrounding us.

Hey, we even had some good thunder and lightning in Portland yesterday! Marble-sized hail too. And you know that doesn't happen often out here.
