I was getting home from the gym a bit ago, and just in awe of the sky. The lightning is brilliant right now.
It fills the sky; like when you open your eyes after being asleep, and a light is on right in your face. Mind you, this way it only lasts an instant.
Other times it cracks across the sky, but; instead of coming right down, you see the cloud where it starts from and it comes down in what's like a spiral around you.
It's hard to explain, and I'm sure you're going, "What the heck're you talking about, crazy?" I swear I'm not crazy, and the sight was awesome.
So I get out of my car, and am instantly drenched, so I don't care about running to the house. (Also, I have a MythBusters episode that proves running in the rain actually makes you more wet than walking. *shrug* Anyway...) It'slate enough I don't have to worry about people driving on the street, so I walk to the house on the path I know so well; eyes huge and looking up at the sky.
I feel water under the soles of my shoes, so I glance down at my next step into deeper water; curse, and do a crossover into the middle of the street.
Hold your breath. What happened isn't what you're probably thinking. Relax...
My foot goes right into the water. No, "Ah, water's leaking in the bottom of my shoe." It was water to just below the ankle. I was like :| "Not fun."
Totally forgot the road in front of the driveway didn't drain right. We have a pond.
Being in Kingston, I forgot the little things about my home in Ottawa. :(
So I got to my front door; shoes drenched, socks sopping wet. This - we all know - is just not fun.
But still... the lightning was beautiful. Kinda ticked I brought my camera to Kingston already. I would've loved a picture. :)
