Eerie, Indiana

Yesterday as I was scampering about running errands and attempting to do a bit of visiting teaching during my lunch hour, I noticed the sky looked, well...a bit strange. Eerie, if you will. When I walked up the stairs out of my building and looked at the sky through the glass doors, I thought, "Ooh, look at the mountains. Aren't they pretty today?" And then I had to stop and remind myself that there are no mountains here...just really spooky, climatic weather threatening clouds. Anyway, I grabbed my camera and snapped a few photos for you all:




And now you all have a small glimpse of how Midwestern storm clouds like to freak us out and make us wonder if perhaps the world will end in one gigantic tornado. Or, perhaps even worse, that the world will end in a similar manner as it did in that awful 80s movie Neverending Story. Yeah...that would be freaky.

In actuality, though, these clouds were nothing but a front to try to scare the good citizens of Muncie. We got a little rain, and a bit of impressive lightning and thunder, but by 5:00 it was all sunny and pleasant. In a last ditch effort to freak us out, a rather large thunder clap practically right over our heads woke us up at 4:00 a.m. and knocked out our electricity, but we pretty much just told the storm to shove it and then went back to sleep. Ha! We'll show them who's weather boss around here!
