“Southeast side of Indianapolis, IN”
Is that just south of Fort Ben Harrison?

I lived in North east Indianapolis for a time in the early 90’s (Fishers) and I have to say that you all have some of the wickedess weather I’d ever seen. Maybe because its so flat (Pittsburgh is a bit more hilly) – some of the lightening storms were actually almost scary (my wife would go crazy if I tried to stand out on our second floor apartment porch and watch the strikes). And then there was the one night when tornadoes were dropping everywhere and the quiver i heard in the disc jockey’s voice… If that doesn’t give one the idea of the awe and wonder of God then I’m not sure what will…
My thoughts…

I saw something that looked like that a few weeks ago. It had been so long that I’d almost forgotten what it was.

It’s obvious that a grandmother somewhere said a prayer.

In Australia this month, the state of Queensland – coming off a 12 year drought that saw statewide impoundments down to sub 10% levels – has had record rain fall. Some areas have received 5 times their average YEARLY fall in three weeks. Dorethea MacKellar had it right.
There is a common feeling of guilt among those not affected directly by the flash flooding, because they don’t feel bad about it.
The wet season starts in 8 weeks and we’ll need more like this to put things back to what we of a certain age still call ‘normal’.
Of couse the hurt are being helped, but, when you can’t bring yourself to pray against the rain – ahh, it’s a crazy mixed up world.

Yes, though I don’t recommend taking pictures while one is driving. Let that be said. : D
