Local businesses paid for the showing and provided grilled hotdogs and hamburgers, soda, water, and M&Ms for the families that watched from a grassy hillside. We sat in lawn chairs, some with little kids sprawled on blankets. The humidity was up there but as 9pm approached, we got a nice breeze and it was quite pleasant. I missed the beginning of the movie however, because a big black cloud to my left began to flicker with interior lightning. It was far enough away that we didn't hear the thunder. I seriously wondered if we should pick up our chairs and leave. This being lightning awareness week, I had read the description of how lightning forms in a cloud and how it also strikes the ground some distance from the cloud. The cloud was on the horizon and the rest of the sky was clear. Once I spotted the big dipper and North Star, I realized that this storm would likely track northeast and not approach our location in Prince Frederick, MD. No one else seemed a bit worried about this spectacular light show on the horizon, so we remained to enjoy the movie. Such is small-town living.kfkgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340057655319798144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915442507015152354.post-58468586526566079232008-06-16T22:00:00.000-06:002008-06-16T22:00:00.000-06:00Looks like it is turning to the dry period again i...Looks like it is turning to the dry period again in TN.
