    Ohio here. We get it after Indiana! We've had rain for 4 days straight, and lots of storms and lightening. A church not far from here has a statue of Jesus that is 6 stories high, with his hands raised. Lightening struck it and it caught fire! Totally distroyed it. Its been on the news and in the papers.
    The humidity is so high...really hard on the elderly, and people with breathing problems. This old lady is staying indoors!

    I live in central California, so weather is very predictable here. Hot, hot and more hot until October probably. Don't get rain in the summer, I didn't even know that was possible, until a few years ago, when I traveled back east!! Had our first 100 degrees yesterday, yuk!

    Here in Lexington it was hot and sunny all day, but got stormy looking about 5:30. Heard thunder , but it rolled past us, and now sunny again. We are to have storms this evening and tomorrow. Whatever IL. and ID. have, we usually get about 24 hours later. Sure hope you don"t get a tornado Craftybear!! Those are bad news!! Carol
