My first thundersrom in Portland

There are almost never thunderstorms in Portland. They have them in the Cascades, but not here. Its weird how we took them for granted when we lived back east. So now when we see one its a treat. I saw lightning and thought it was something else, but then I heard the thunder. I went and woke Jim up, and we both went out and stood in the middle of the backyard in our pajamas. It wasn't raining at our house yet, but we could see the storm.
