Strange days

[pecunium]

It's pouring hail. Not the usual slushy crap we get here, but pea-sized lumps of icy-rocks.

A couple of blasts of lightening (no thunder), and a cold rain (qu'elle surprise) which didn't end in the ten minutes I was expecting.

This is August Weather, after two days of June Weather, which followed four days of July.

I just finished a thundestorm (which terrified the dogs).

I recall being flooded out of some camping in '90, at the Fairesite in San Bernardino. It's not unknown (we got about four inches, over about 7 hours).

I suspect more variable rain for the next couple of hours.

my dogs weren't thrilled either - and the thunder was very gentle - to me - any clue as to what to do to help them?

Bring them inside. We had a a new cell move in. The thunder here was pretty solid, and some of the bursts really close (one of them was right overhead, less than 1/2 second from flash to bang).

I had to move the nesting hen from one of the kennels, and pop the soft kennel up.

Since the thunder hasn't stopped, they'll probably be inside all night.

There is no outside for my dogs - unless I'm out there with them on leash - they run willy nilly thru the apt barking madly and sometimes Jasmine will try to hide under the desk - sigh - Jim told me a dog he & his ex had needed to be sedated thunder was so upsetting to her -
