tuesday afternoon

It felt like New Year`s Eve last night. The sky was filled with "fireworks".
It thundered and lightened.
And then the rain came, hitting the windows and the roof.
Dripping from the gutter.
The power was gone for like 2 hours -
it got so still and dark,
it was a bit scary and at the same
time very pleasant and odd.
The aircondition stopped. I unplugged the phone.
No music, no computerlights or sounds, no TV.
It`s almost like the time is still as well.Like life is on hold.
Silence. Oh , yeah.. the silence surrounded me.
I lighted lots of candlelights , and sat down and read a novel.
The lightning lasted for almost 3 hours, that`s the longest I`v ever experienced.
Fascinating weather!
