Bad Weather = Diversion Excitement
I can't remember a day where I've seen so much rain, thunder and lightning, including several strikes near my house. Even during the couple hours between storm cells, there was constant cloud to cloud lightning. Crazy stuff, and of course the air traffic is messed up. Here are some diversions I found interesting for one reason or another.
