Zzzzzzap!

Hey, you know what's bad for computers? Spontaneous power outages caused by lightning! Amirite? Some of that lightning last night was pretty impressive. Apparently one of the bolts knocked out power around 11:00pm at our house. I was snoozing peacefully at the time but the various clocks around the house told the tale. More impressive than the lightning itself was its wake. Did you hear some of those thunderclaps‽ Of course you did. It was pretty darn difficult to not hear -- or at least feel -- the rumbling. I was impressed, and I was shocked I didn't spend half the night consoling frightened youngsters. Did any of you see any flooding from last night's storm? I heard there was a flash flood warning issued overnight. I hope it didn't involve anybody's basement. For that matter, I hope it didn't include our basement. I probably should check for wet spots. We've had a water-free year so far, but I'd best not get complacent.
