My Guess Is I Keep Finding Cities That Are a Deterrent For a Good Thunderstorm, as Every Prediction Seems to Prove Untrue as They Approach

I was looking forward to a good afternoon/evening of thunderstorms as the heat was outrageous and the air simply stagnant. All day I kept an eye on the Weather channels, my phone, and the sky and knew they were coming. You could see the build up in the sky. When Kathy called to say she and Michael were grabbing a burger I told her I'd be right there, and I hoped to beat the rain. She said, "What rain? The storms reach Bridgeport and then head directly north."

Sure enough, just like Syracuse, the storms look like straight on bullseyes, but then rip off into new directions or totally split as they approach our area. So, no storms. Strange how this is. 

It's like they're greeted by a 'Go Away' sign, so they do. I like good storms. I remember them from childhood and, unlike Kentucky, a good storm removed the heat for cooler air (in KY, they made the heat even hotter). I was simply looking forward to cooling air...which has to come somehow because the temperatures drop this weekend. 

So, the week didn't end with a bang like I hoped it would. I was looking forward to rattling windows. Nope. Just a couple of sprinkles with everyone around us getting pummeled. It is what it is, and perhaps I should be so sad they missed us...

...again.
