Thunderstorms

I love thunderstorms. Who doesn't? Sure, it sometimes comes with a torrential downpour, but how can you not love the magical display of lightening associated with thunderstorms? Not to mention the deafening thunder that shakes you to your core. Acapulco thunderstorms are great for that, and somehow I always had the best sleeps, next to an open window listening to the roaring storm.

Saturday night, I had plans with a friend to go on a boat out to English Bay to watch the Celebration of Light fireworks. That is, until I got the call from my friend who promptly informed me that there wasn't enough room on the boat for both of us so, too bad so sad, you're off the boat. Once the shock of being so unceremoniously tossed off the boat wore off, I decided to settle in for the night and watch a movie.

Just as the movie started, I heard a thunder clap. I looked out my window and this is the view I was treated to. Unfortunately my reflexes aren't cat-like, much to my disappointment, and I wasn't able to catch the lightening in action, so these will have to do.

Nice pictures!

What movie did you settle in to watch that evening? I ask because I did the same after bailing on the Lantern Festival. I ended up watching Definitely Maybe (not my choice) but it actually wasn't half bad...

I've seen Definitely Maybe, I liked it :) I ended up watching the second Fantastic Four movie. It was good mindless entertainment.
