Default curiosity.......made me wet

Was standing in my kitchen, when I heard this huge rumbling noise.
I stopped with what I was doing and tried to listen where it came from

It sounded like it came from somewhere outside, I have to see what it is. I opened my front door,when outside I toke two steps strait forward

The sound had disappeared

Then I heard this rumbling sound again and before my ears could localize where this noise came from a huge mount of snow from the roof hit me right where I was standing.

So after been outside for about 15 sec I was quite wet.

That's funny. Next time, you won't go running when there's a rumbling noise!

There is nothing like living under a steel roof.
I experience roofavalanches at least three times a winter. It scares the beejeezus out of the cats, but they are slowly getting used to it.
