The other thing that comes with spring in the mid west though is severe weather. So far we haven't had much rain or severe weather but it is unavoidable. The skies change, the air cools and it even smells different. You can feel the rain coming. And seriously as I am typing this I just heard thunder. Or maybe it was just a loud car outside. It could be either.
Back to the weather. It changes quickly and it can get pretty scary.

| This storm came in very quickly. We were out shopping and on the way to the stores the thermometer in the car said it was 100. Then it cooled way down and started pouring rain. The wind was also very strong. |

| This is the sunset after the storm. Pretty spectacular. |
Last spring/summer we got lots and lots of rain. Which caused flooding like I have never seen before.
 |
| You can usually see sandbars in this river! It was so high that peoples basements were flooded. Some people even lost access to the road so they had to use a boat to get to the road. |
I have lived in this same area of Nebraska for 16 years in July and I don't ever remember flooding like this. Maybe some higher than normal water levels but never flooding.
Right now while the weather is nice, before it gets unbearable, I am going to enjoy it. And be grateful that it is not so hot that I can still drive with my windows down since my air conditioning doesn't seem to be working.
