A thunderstorm on the Fourth
Today is Fourth of July, America's national holiday, and a day off for me.
In the afternoon we went for a hike at the Eno River. Halfway through we got caught in a large thunderstorm, and we were soaking wet within a few minutes. We made our way to a shelter, a wooden house for campers, where we waited until the worst of the lightning was over.
It's not the first time a summer storm surprised us on the Fourth -- three years ago we were at the Al Buehler trail when the same thing happened. Quite an adventure.
There is still a storm warning in effect for Durham, and it's raining heavily.
