Last night, we had another dry thunderstorm–the second one this month. According to what I’ve read, these are common in western states during late spring and early summer, but, for goodness sake! Arkansas is not west. I’d just as soon not have them.
Caused by excessive heat and dry air, they present a lot of noise, danger of lightning strikes, but no moisture. Oh, there’s water up there in those clouds, but it evaporates before hitting the ground. Now, that’s downright sad.
Nemo likes a dry thunderstorm about as much as he likes a wet one; which is to say, not at all. The noise level is the same and that’s what’s objectionable to him.
The Bible speaks about dry thunderstorms. Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind with no rain. Proverbs 25:14. So, there we have our take-away lesson. Be careful that you carry through with what you promise.
As far as thunderstorms go, I much prefer the wet ones. Hopefully, some day soon, there’ll be clouds so filled with water that they overcome the heat and give us a good drenching. Of dry thunderstorms, I am not a fan!
