I can see out the back of the house to downtown albany, and out the front of the house towards EG. It makes for great storm watching I was watching a storm the other day and watched a bolt of lighting hit a branch across the street and take it down. Brightest thing i’ve seen in my LIFE. Something major must have happened the next block up, they had fire and rescue out for like 4hrs with the entire block shut down. I love extreme weather ---

I love extreme weather Yeah, my uncle lives in E.G. and they get some nasty storms up that way. I think it’s because it’s so close to the river. ---

Yeah, I live up the hill off the river and just on the crest that overlooks EG/NG. We get some good storms that roll through. The snow/thunderstorm a few winters back was one of the craziest/interesting things i’ve ever seen ---

We get some good storms that roll through. The snow/thunderstorm a few winters back was one of the craziest/interesting things i’ve ever seen I was at HVCC for that!! I remember sitting in the library between classes on my laptop, and I was bored so I checked the weather forecast. It said “Thundersnow” for the day’s outlook. I figured it was some error with the website. Later on as I was walking to class it was snowing and thundering/lightning. I wish I had a camera with me that day, it was absolutely incredible.
