We were supposed to get all manner of crazy wind and lots of rain last night, but the “storm” was little more than a blip in the area and some areas did see serious weather. But sometimes we do get awesome, crazy weather. It’s a relatively rare event here in mild-weather Washington, D.C., so I have to cherish it then. I’m sure if I lived in tornado alley or blizzard-friendly Chicago, I’d be well sick of thunderstorms, hail and nasty weather. And I’m not unaware that harsh weather brings a lot of suffering to a lot of people every year.
