I was wondering where you were going with this when the kids came out in their swimsuits, I was pleased that they did not stay outside. As long as I am not on the river, I love to watch all of the beauty in a thunderstorm. When you see a cloud that stretches across the sky from east to west and it has a black and green color with a huge roll in the beginning, you know things are going to be beautiful but bad.
I have always wished that I had a camera, the day that I saw the lightning coming from the ground and down from the sky at the same time, it was magical.
No, they weren't going to get to stay out ... that is why God gives children adults!
Thunderstorms are gorgeous from a safe distance ... never seen one black and green in person with a roll, but I know of what you speak ... rarely also do we have big thunderstorms here, but I imagine that was a magical moment that you saw indeed ... I wish I had a camera the night there was so much lightning the colors could be distinguished ... lightning comes in all the colors of light ...
I have seen it, in a reddish color.
Red is a indeed common color!
