I can feel it in the air, that pre-storm tension. So, I stand, face upturned, waiting for the storm to break.
It starts as a low rolling rumble that builds to a vibrating boom. My smile spreads as fat drops of rain pelt me. Lightning cracks, and the thunderstorm is in full bloom.
I wrote this post in response to Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt, a fifty-three-word limit using the word thunderstorm.

From a gentle start to a roaring crescendo! Wonderfully descriptive.

There just happen to be a lot of thunderstorms hitting the US. When I was a kid I used to sit on the front porch and watch the storm.

I love watching storms. I used to do the same, and if I couldn’t watch from outside, I would find a window.
