  • Hi Kate, Well here in O'side today since this morning, we've had lighting, a lot of thunder and even some rain. It's after 2, dark and gloomy and according to wunderground radar we've got more coming our way! My poor doggies have been following me closely all day, with Tommy shaking like a leaf. Hopefully no dry lighting...
