That last lightning strike did more than knocking out DU for an hour!

What a storm (Greenville, SC)! Sparks flying, side-ways rain, poor Nick-Nick in the closet! I just found out that a house a half mile away was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. A big house at the country club. Bad shit, that. Man, I hope all those late golfers are OK.

1. We had strong electrical storms here in Ky yesterday.

It's been bad for farmers. During June and July, when the crops should be growing there was little if any rain. Now when they are trying to harvest, the rain is coming.

in NM 30 north of the texas border (or 60 miles west of the panhandle border)

Nice and cool now (72-F). Nick is still in the closet.

4. Whoa! I guess it's headed my way soon then.

Oh great... just what I need.

Glad you're ok!

Mine are down right now. I have been able to sleep through storms lately.
