Diary 8/10/13

Thunderstorms built up on the mountain before dark, but the lightning storm didn't hit until 11:00 at night. I saw flashes even with my eyes closed. Then rain started and kicked it into third gear with a waterfall off the roof as if someone were pouring buckets down. No hail thank goodness as our first round of corn is just about ready. I have seen corn turn corn leaves into something that looks like fringe.
