thunder bummer

It's a track meet day for Princess Fifi...... she's running the 800 meter dash.



We're at the SE Albuquerque public school stadium

Cookie and Sweetheart packed a blanket and a bag of sippy drinks, fruit, granola and nuts.
They were very prepared for the meet as they waited for Fifis event to come up.

But within 15 minutes after the meet began; a thunderstorm moved into the area.
Thunderstorms are very common in New Mexico. Often times without rain--just thunder and lightening.
The meet was put on safety alert as the athletes were moved into the gym.
The spectators were asked to evacuate the stadium and to wait in their vehicles.

After a little over 30 minutes the thunderstorm eventually moved on but then the fierce winds moved in.
The meet was cancelled

It's good to go home.... warm.... dinner.... safe (yeah)
