The kidcats must know what's coming (thunderstorm) because they have gone into hiding

It's funny. Sophie and Boudicca never hid from storms. All 4 of the kidcats will wait to reappear until about an hour after the storm ends.

This has just been one of those weird kind of weather days. No two forecasts seemed to match so it was hard to know what we were/are in for. Now it looks like this storm kind of splits as it crosses over Flint. We'll still get rain and wind but probably not the torrential downfalls that happened north of us.

It might be a late dinner for my fur babies, tonight.

We were in the mid 90's with a wicked heat index. It's now 73 degrees.

LOTS of power outages all around but my little section of the county is mostly OK.

Arthur and Carys haven't come out of hiding but they will when I bring out the treat jar.

Mine have their own private door and like to play outside. They always show up for breakfast and dinner, but if all 3 come in at an odd time and it's even a little overcast, I know we're going to get some rain.

I love it when we finally get rain in the summer. Silver perches right in front of the screen door like meercat and only finches a little with big flashes and booms.
