7-1-2013: RAINSTORM

Today was pretty much uneventful and normal except for two things:  First, they had me help unload one of the trucks again, and second there was a considerable thunderstorm.  There was a thunderstorm yesterday, but it was just an average thunderstorm where it rained off and on for a couple of hours and then stopped.  Today's storm was amazing.  It started like normal and then, suddenly and without warning, the rain begin to deluge down from the heavens.  Wind was blowing and the rain was coming so hard that the Walmart's doors went into lock-down, and ye could not even see out of them because the rain was coming down so thick and hard.  It only lasted about ten minutes, but in that time about an inch of water seeped through the doors and into the entry way -- and that was with the doors shut!  It also knocked out the power, so for a while the registers and main lights did not work.  It was cool.

Random Fact:  The state of Wyoming is named after the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania.  Also, in an average lifetime, a person will walk a distance approximately equal to walking around the equator of the Earth -- five times.
