Day 17 of the RV trip, July 18th

12:17 a.m. There's a severe thunder storm going on. The sky literally lights up every second, its like someone taking a picture, with flash on, in the middle of a power outage... at midnight. Although I can't really hear any thunder. It's pretty scary so my dad stayed up with me for a while just watching the storm. He said that this is normal, (all the lightning) because we are on a lake and the ground is so flat, so it lights the sky up more. Unlike Pittsburgh where it's not very flat. But I don't live in the city, so I wouldn't know. The storm went on until 3 a.m. then it moved on. It really cooled down, because as many of you know, if you have access to a tv or computer, we are in a heat wave. Along with like 17 other states, but still. We took the dogs to the isolated beach again today, the waves were kinda rough, but it was still pretty. Then we just came home and relaxed.... shocker.
