Please bear with me, I know I've "complained" about the rainy weather a couple of times, but I really thought it would've been over now that we also have "sunny"/hot days over here. What was I wrong; I should've known better, because it's always rainy around the beginning of July.
As I said earlier, we do have hot sunny weather the last couple of days, but that's during the day when all the clouds are forming together and the atmosphere feels like it's brooding. I even have to splash some water on my face a couple of times to cool off a bit. And then, when night approaches (late in the afternoon) - after the clouds have become heavy - the rain falls, bringing thunder and lightning with it and it's forecast that it'll keep "showering" the coming days. It's even been predicted that Tropical Storm Elsa will be the first Atlantic hurricane in 2021.
Now mind you, today was no different - rain, lightning and thunder - which I enjoyed watching as a kid at my parents'. I was fascinated by the lights and even liked rare pictures of those flashes. But now as an "adult" I squirm when seeing the flash, knowing the sound is not so far behind. Crazy enough it's not me I'm worried about 😅. I'm thinking about the appliances, the house, the roof and the sound of what I'm watching or listening to will be drowned out by the thunder.
I began thinking if the cords of all the appliances should be removed, the importance of preventative building and (electric) wiring and the extra service (for flooding and/or devastation by storm) assurance companies have begun to offer lately. Regardless of what your opinions are regarding assurances, some things are worth investing into for those rare occasions you'll need a "buffer". Also who do you call for help if ever something happens; do we have the alarm numbers at hand?
