Watching a Thunderstorm

The night is warm and humid. We knew the storm was coming. They wouldnt’t stop talking about it, on both the tv and the radio.

The sky becomes dark.. Very quickly. There is no sunset today. The sky remains overcast for most of the day. There is an eerie darkness that invades the sky. The wind starts to pick up a little bit. Suddenly it feels like it is closer to midnight, instead of early evening. The ink like darkness of the sky, makes you think twice.

Evan looked at me.. “Hey let’s go to the Oakhill crest.” He suggests. Oakhill Crest, is this place where you can see the whole city. It’s really high up. You can watch thunderstorms roll in, at this elevation.

I agree to go with him. We love to watch thunderstorms together. Tonight we knew we would be able to see one. As we get up there, We are just in time. The thunder rolls in Moments later streams of purple light walk across the sky. As it makes it’s way, the sky lights up with a matching purple glow. “Wow this is awesome” I say outloud.
