About 2 AM we awoke, or were awoken, by the sound of rain and thunder. There was also a near non stop display of lightning from above the clouds. After watching the spectacle for a while, it was back to sleep until our usual wake up time.
After breakfast we hung around the trailer, although initially it wasn’t as hot as it had been, the humidity had risen to about 60%. Recently humidity levels had been below the 30% mark.
Lyn did some quilting, and I set about devising a way to create some storage space in the trailer from a wasted area we had found that existed behind a panel near the entrance way.
After lunch we headed out to Hays, about 30 miles away to do our weekly shopping. We also wanted to get a new faucet set for the kitchen as the current set is beginning to corrode and is getting difficult to move. A job for tomorrow.
The humidity was increasing, as was the temperature which peaked at 34C, we then got a few showers and the thunder started rumbling again. After a quick visit to Home Depot for the faucets, there was a more leisurely stop at Hobby Lobby then we got the grocery shopping out of the way. This was the last major grocery shopping of the trip.
Back at the trailer we sat outside surrounded by dark grey clouds, the rumble of thunder and a severe thunderstorm warning. The storm was still a fair way off as far as visible lightning was concerned, but the the rumble of thunder was nearly constant. As the storm got closer, it started to rain, a good hint to head inside. We were then treated to more intense lightning and much louder claps of thunder. Looking at the radar, these storms are likely to continue well into the night.
The good news is the temperature has dropped to 20C and we can switch off the A/C. Forecast temperatures for the next few days are more reasonable at around 28C.
