Wow, really?

I lived there for 3 years and we got a ton of storms. I'm quite surprised - eastern washington used to get them relatively often during the summer.

Well, eastern Oregon on the eastern slope of the cascades gets quite a few as well, and I got there often enough to experience them :)

Really. It hardly rains at all in the summer here. Just sun and heat, sun and heat. Everyone has to water their lawns or they all die. I grew up in New England where we had proper storms in the summer, and I WISH we had them here, if only to get a little wx excitement once in a while.

Huh. Color me confused.

I lived there 1998-2001 while attending Gonzaga. We had a ton of storms in the spring and summer those years. Must have been a string of odd years.

I live in San Diego now - I haven't seen a good blitz of a storm in sooooo long ~_~
