A Thunderstorm Warning for Southern Nevada

There is a thunderstorm warning for Southern Nevada and parts of Arizona. The weatherman, who happens to be extremely good looking (of course, all Channel 3 weathermen are extremely good looking), played it down and said Las Vegas probably wouldn't get any rain. There is always the possibility of rain when we get a warning.

I'm looking outside my living room window at the clouds in the sky. They look nice, even though it means high humidity. I like looking at the clouds. Thunderstorms always bring back memories of Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, when there was a thunderstorm warning there were also tornado warnings.

When I was growing up, my Grandmother never allowed us to watch T.V. during a thunderstorm. She never let us set in front of a window either. In fact, she didn't even want us to pet the dog in a thunderstorm. Of course, my sister always ignored Grandma's advice. Actually, both my sister and the dog was afraid of thunderstorms. During a storm, when the lightening flashed and the thunder roared, my sister and the dog would huddle together. My grandparents could never separate them.
