    Wow. What an afternoon! Thunderstorms, rain and more rain, tornadoes all around and much more to come! Small closet is my safe place. 2 AM and hopefully all this will have passed! Stay safe everyone!

    • Hey Camille,

      Stay safe wherever you are, all our prayers and well wishes shielding around your safe space to keep you protected, be well and cuddle up with a good book and some soothing music maybe a good film – here’s one of my favorites – William Shakespeare’s A Midsummers Night’s Dream (1999)

      A plus is it’s got a great classical music soundtrack with Mendelssohn performed by the Deutsches Symphonie as well as Renee Fleming . . .

        • Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Fortunately and strangely I am rather calm during this type of weather. Thanks for the suggestion!

        • Here is some of the score from the film by the composer Simon Boswell:

              My favorite—What Fools These Mortals Are 🙂

                • Hello again Camille,
                  I was born during a thunderstorm in the early afternoon – my uncle who was a film camera maniac immortalized it on 8mm – so the rain is soothing to me no matter how heavy it is. That being said, i am in no way summoning a Typhoon over for polite company even under the best circumstances but the rest of the hurricanes and various level storms actually are strangely comforting. You are quite welcome both for the well wishes and for the film and music, it’s my pleasure. I was playing William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream earlier, as it’s a comfort thing for me. Some people have a – in case of emergency break glass grab the cigarette and lighter – i have some films or music on hand as my vice of choice. And yes “what fools (we) mortals be” . . .

              • It looks like your interpretation of the ‘sky writing’ was quite accurate.
                I am glad to know you are doing okay (even though stuffed in your closet!).
                Thinking of you in a state of safety and calm.

                  • Thank you PiPoe. All is well on the home front. Blue skies with white puffy clouds. But only moderate air quality after over 4 inches of rain?

                  • In “alternative science” there are ways to mitigate storms, it might be worth at least looking into.
