Sign of the times

This must be the Easter cold snap just a week late.Past few mornings it has been cool and the days not as warm.The wind was howling the other night and you know what I liked hearing it and watching the trees sway with the wind.I will be honest weather,stormy weather has never bothered me.Back in 95 when Hurricane Opal came through LaGrange the wind was howling,trees breaking and power poles snapping like tooth picks and I just rolled over in bed and went to sleep.LaGrange has had a earthquake in the past few years strong enough to knock pictures off walls I heard but me yep was sleeping right through it.I have always enjoyed watching a good thunderstorm with that vivid lighting and thunder so loud it shakes the house.When I was working alone at the water plant storms where not so much fun.The river pump would almost every time knock off and that meant bells and lights flashing at the plant.One person on a shift all alone trying to run up and down 3 flights of stairs turning switches,switching pumps,bells ringing it did get hectic for a few minutes.Then outside at 100 foot water towers turning valves with lightning popping all around you at times it was a bit scary I will say.The weather has changed everyone will agree on that.Sign of the times I think.It has always been a much talked about subject but still in this year of 2012 there is not much that can be done about it.
