The Storm

We spent the day at home where I spent most of the day sleeping. Between the Percoset and the Amoxicillin, I was exhausted and sick most of the day.

What a shame because we had a beautiful sunny day until early evening when the monsoon clouds rolled in. We even got some hail the size of quarters that pounded the coach to the point that we were afraid of damage.

As the evening progressed, the storm grew worse with two solid hours of lightning backlighting the skies. The thunder sounded right overhead.

Then the rain and wind started. The weather center called for extreme weather situations, so we pulled the slides in and closed the curtains in case of breaking glass. The power cut off several times while the coach swayed with the wind. By 11pm everything calmed down although the roads were flooded and we were able to open the coach back up. The humidity was ridiculous and it felt good to open the windows and vents again.
