Thunderstorm and Earth Quake!

I realize I already wrote an entry today however, I wanted to share something rather exciting that happened today! Early this morning Ecuador experienced an earthquake, I was uninformed and completely oblivious to this until my papa told me at lunch today. Apparently earthquakes are common in Ecuador however, thunderstorms are not, however we were also the recipient of one of those as well today! I had mentioned in my previous entry that it was especially warm today, by 1:30 PM clouds had moved and we began to hear thunder while eating lunch. My mama was startled, she reported that thunderstorms are rare. I one the other hand, was thrilled. It hailed, there was beautiful lightening, and loud booms of thunder...I was reminded of Midwest humidity and the storms that often result. It was great, two weather phenomonens in a 12 hour span!
