it was the worst thunderstorm I've seen here in years. It knocked our power out for 2 hours...but I'm sure glad to be back in the world of electricity :hi:

Southern Tier. Wicked lightening earlier, but only a little wind. Breathtaking lightening.

4. Brooklyn here.
Wow, that was dramatic! It hit us in two waves, and I haven't been around lightning like that for a long time. No power-outs for us, but I'm truly surprised (especially considering the earlier problems with the subways.)

Glad yer all right. :hi:
