One of ours is doing the same and the other ones all excited and wants to go outside . Funny how they handle it so differently.

:127: storms like these are not easy on the Furry Family members.

Sky is so dark out there, little rain hit & miss lightning strikes. Spoke to soon, one just came down.

I'm seeing many small smoke plumes around the Okanagan Mt park area. Storm seems to be moving towards Glenrosa now.

<yawn> yet more unnecessary drama.

Try living outside the Okanagan if you want to see some severe storms. Supercell? Not even in your wildest dreams.
So I love the Okanagan but it's a place best enjoyed from atop a very large pile of $100 bills. - Spocky

I'm enjoying listening to the thunder. Haven't seen the hail yet - hopefully this area won't get it.

Crazy is right - it seemed the clouds were going one way and then all of a sudden they were swirling around and going in a different direction. The lightning has been interesting to watch.

I've been keeping an eye on the weather radar and I swear the storm is almost circling around Vernon/Kelowna.
