Crazy Thunderstorms of Doom!

It has been a great few weeks for thunderstorms.
The one today went as such. It was a lovely day, and I was up in my room. Then, it started. First, it went really still. And then it went really dark. And then, the heavens opened up and suddenly it was very loud and very windy and very wet. The thunder was terrible- and happening at just the same time as the lightning. Water was pouring in the windows and doors, and when you looked outside all you could see were sheets and sheets of it. The trees you could see were blowing totally sideways in the wind. Gabby was having a spaz attack in the laundry room. There were sirens somewhere off in the distance.
And then it stopped. And now it is sunny.
I hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Edit: Apparently, Cabot Street was knee-deep in water, which in all my years of working at the library I have never seen before. Dane Street? Sure, it floods every time there's a bit of a drizzle. But Cabot? Clearly, this weather is crazy.
