OOOoooooo! My area is in a tornado watch alert, but while we're looking out for twisters, we have a BIG cell going through... No real rain at the moment, but LOTS of lightning all around, which is very exciting - I love a good rip-snorter of a thunderstorm...
I'm not even going to try and get pics or video... But - how fun!
And I am so glad and joyful that I know the God of Creation, to whom all this power and excitement are as nothing. He could step in and say, "Peace! Be still!" and nature would immediately obey Him. In the meantime, I watch the display and I glory in the Lord God Almighty, who holds us all in His hand...
Ah! The worship song, "Days of Elijah" has a chorus which goes:
UPDATE: And now comes the second line, which ought to have a LOT of rain... I did take video earlier, and am uploading it to YouTube, but who knows if the Internet connection will hold, LOL. Plus, I really ought to add the Doors' song, "Riders on the Storm," for a nice clip... My little camera didn't catch all the background flashes, either, so it's mostly the actual lightning strikes caught by the video. Bit now it's coming back,and my strobe light has returned! LOL

Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!Even so, my beloved Lord and Savior - come soon!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
