More weather-watching

We had lots of thunder and lighting last night. To be truthful I'm just guessing on the thunder part because I know we had lots of lighting; I woke up several times last night to the realization that I was seeing lighting flashes through my closed eyelids. It was a neat effect, but not conducive to a full night's sleep. This is perhaps one one of the reasons I've felt so non-energetic today. I'd like to get to bed early tonight, but I really need to polish off my current writing project, because I have several new projects coming down the chute after this one. At least with all this rain I don't have garden work tempting me away from my computer!

It's thundering again now. I checked the NWS website earlier and there seems to be a band of storms from southern Nebraska through most of Kansas. Lincoln will catch its northernmost edge; Beatrice (which, if you ever find yourself in Nebraska is pronounced "bee-at-ris"), Maryville and Manhattan are going to be in the thick of it. This is just not a good weekend for Kansas.

I just got up to check my bread in the oven and opened the kitchen door to see what was up: it's raining again. *sigh*

EDIT: I just rechecked the NWS radar: the storm line has extended northward to Norfolk (which is pronounced "nor-fork"--I'm not making this up), so Lincoln is now in the middle of it again. I think when my bread gets out of the oven I might just give up and go to bed.
