Thunderstorm!

It rarely thunders here in Kita Kobe.  However, today  (8/16/14) it is pouring down rain and the thunder is right overhead (at about 10:45 a.m.).  During this month of August we have had the oddest weather in our 23+ years here.  While it is usually hot and muggy in August through early September, so far it has rained, sometimes heavily, for 12 out of 16 days.  Something is going on.  Perhaps it is all that "global warming" or "climate change" that's making the weather do odd things. Or not.  :-)  Perhaps it is called "weather."

Have a grand day!
