So we survived the totally hot and humid weather last week, survived the threat of Hurricane Earl over the weekend, but out of nowhere this morning we got one of those huge thunder boomer kinds of storms. Yikes!! Shook the house, set off the house alarm and, naturally, the little ones felt the need to talk back at the thunder ... sigh. Thankfully, the storm only lasted a short time, the dogs quieted down after the first BOOM, and the alarm only needed a quick reset. Good thing I'm an early riser and a morning person, otherwise it would have been a really rude awakening. Hopefully the only alarm that woke the neighbors was their alarm clocks! :w00t:
