Birds chirping
cool north breeze in your face.
Distant rumble of thunder
faint lightning flashes in the clouds
Occasional closer lightening with the clap of thunder.
The pitter patter of rain begins
Rain picks up intensity then slacks off and almost stops.
A bright spot in the clouds is floating by
Cars on the road keep a constant dull roar.
Train whistles can be heard faintly in the distance.
The rumble of thunder returns at first distant then closer.
The sound of song birds still can be heard.
To the west solid gray clouds
2 train whistles one faint long whistle and the other closer and to the east gives one quick toot.
Occasionally a bird will shoot past.
The lazy normal flying of birds is not seen.
Though there are some fluffy clouds they are dimensioning.
Rain falls softly now.
Against the gray backdrop a lightening strike lasts for over a second.
I notice the birds have stopped singing because one chirped 2 times then stooped.
Rain is now coming down steady.
Looking to the SE the sky is lighter.
Swallows are still looking for food but they are skimming the ground and not in the air.
Heavy rolling thunder sounds.
The sky is all most completely solid gray now.
The pitter patter of rain slows then intensifies .
I don’t even see the swallows flying now.
The sky is almost solid gray.
The pitter patter of rain is steady.
Rain lets up, thunder continues. Instead of rain drops its now heavy mist.
Psalm 29:3
“The voice of the Lord is upon the waters,
The God of glory thunders.
The Lord is over many waters.”
Rain picks back up with more regular thunder and lightening.
Lightening for 2/10 of a second and the crack of thunder.
After a wait of about a minute a downpour of rain.
Trees in the distance become hazy. As distant vision is obscured.
9:43 AM
A hole in the sky can be seen to the west out of the torrential downpour blue sky with clouds around it.
When I was at my vantage point I saw a lot of different things Now that I am driving I can’t see what I want to see. It is the same with Christ. We need to be in a place where we can see Christ.
Lightning still striking here and there rolling thunder can be heard in the background steady rain is falling.
Rain is almost stopped, sprinkling now as the light patch has moved overhead.
It is interesting the break in the clouds brought light now it is starting to get darker again.
10:50 and the rain is now coming down in sheets. the windshield wipers need to go fast to keep up.
I am looking for low spots to find ponding water and that mainly will be under railroad bridges.
Stream of water coming out of the lumber yard is all gray. Compared to the rest of the water flowing down the street which is clear.
Jackson just south of the Railroad bridge about 13th street it looks like a river flowing out
there.
Gardner just West of Chouteau trafficway.
11:35 rain is stopped mostly.
Looking at the Missouri river shows no high flow it is below the markings on the bridge..
Heavy rain starts back up again.
12:17 it has quit raining it is just misting.
On the freeway it appears someone was hurt. Car pulled in front of a semi and was
smashed. Emergency vehicles are just arriving.
2:32 it is starting to get dark in the west.
2:36 it is raining in sheets again.
Missouri’s hot muggy days, are relieved by cool thunderstorms.
