My Little Meteorologist

I have a love/hate relationship with stormy nights.

On the one hand, it's relaxing and nice to hear rain on the roof and thunder rolling, and watch the lightning flash across the sky.

On the other, I have seen the damage severe Alabama thunderstorms (and the tornados that often pop up with them) can do.

Back to the first hand...it is so much fun to watch my junior meteorologists get excited about the weather. Both of the boys like to talk about storms - especially since the big one that caused so much damage in the community almost a year ago - but Ty is almost obsessed with the weather. He loves looking at the radar and watching the weather channel. A little hail storm came through earlier, and he was dancing with the broom saying, "It's coming a BIG hail storm! Ice cubes are falling on the porch!" He was so excited he had to call both sets of grandparents and tell them about it. He kept running to the window to watch the lightning and see if it was hailing. He finally fell asleep in my recliner watching the lightning through the big picture window. The sweetie.

We may see him on the weather channel one day.
