Caught in the Storm

 The weather report did state that there was a strong probability of a severe thunderstorm.
At 13:30, I decided that the sun was shining and the humidity would only decrease in the event of a rain storm.
As I walked up Boswell Hill from the town of Maine side, I realized that I was walking into a huge thunderstorm at a right angle.
I was so annoyed at my self for arriving at the highest elevation as the storm glided very close overhead.
The wind wasn't a problem although, it was a very different situation down in the valley.
The problem was the lighting, it was far too close.
Anyhow, I am glad that the temperature did not drop significantly, in the past, I have ended up standing in the shower with my hands clasped under the shower nozzle.
Today, I did not enjoy the spectacular color of the sky just before the storm hit, I did feel concern about the electrical discharge that at times seemed to occur everywhere.
