14, 2001 Lava
Lamp-like Juice and Power Darkness
like that of night arises across the Northern and NW sky.
At anvils edge to my nearby SE, a huge wash of gray cumulus cloud
explodes like a bomb into the heavens, soon dropping a wall of rain and
occasional slithering lightning. As
northern darkness slides closer, spectacular lightning bolts dance about
constantly, and a deep greenish gray curtain takes shape, introduced by
funnel-like protrusions of blackness. Black
sea of clouds works its way overhead, visibly seething, churning, rotating low
above me. Breath taking and spectacular... it pushes its way towards the
brightness of southern sky and the distant towers still building there. The
earth leaps with continuous flashes that echo electricity playing across the
northern sky. Slowly,
ever so slowly, storms heart oozes in. Like a slow, smooth sensuous dance,
tantalizing, teasing and flirting, the throbbing essence of this storm carries
on a few miles away and gradually envelops us. My heart leaps with joy to the
continuous dances, slithers and flashes of brilliant lightning -
many bolts fading into beads before disappearing into crashing thunder;
and even a couple prolonged glows of blue and changing colors above the SW
horizon nearby. Heavy rain spatters about, driven by winds that at one point
widely bends trees and rocks the car. The
air smells so good from the mix of fresh rain scent and lightning. The
storm lasts about one hour. For a
good hour afterwards, I savor breath- taking full sky discharges of lightning
that shatter in stunning pyrotechnics and drop shimmering bolts towards earth.
