Boom

We have started our summer wet season a bit early this year which is a good thing.  Last night we had some more strong storms.  On the drive home I was mired in traffic due to an accident.  Then when I got closer to the house, two of the intersections had dead traffic lights.  I was afraid power was out at the house.  I was relieved when the garage door went up.

The storm continued for awhile.  At one point there was a huge blast of thunder that rattled the house.  Nicki came scrambling into the bedroom.  A little later I was up in the office and I jumped after an even bigger blast rocked the house.  This one was real close as there was almost no gap between the light and thunder.  A few minutes after that there was a stream of police and emergency vehicles heading up our road. A bit later I saw utility trucks heading the same direction.  The lightning hit something obviously.

The weekend has no big plans.  I have stuff to do around the house.  I think I will wait till I am off Wednesday to mow the grass so it will split the difference of being gone the following weekend.  Next week at this time we should be close to the Philly airport on our way to pick up Randall, cool stuff.
