Saw something like this at about 4am., while looking out Monkey's window at the wind going crazy. Blinded me for a few minutes. Still seeing a little blue spots. Sounded like a hundred gunshots at once. It woke Andi up. Screwed up computer monitor. Still got headache. I think I was close.

Kaley, Kim and I all heard that same strike. In a micro-second it was crackling... then wound up in a vortex of pops... then sha-BAM!!!... a whip from the sky... unleashed... jolted me upright... the loudest lightning strike I ever heard. Lucky you got to see it!

Rumor has it... that was Santa Claus... that was actually Christmas Eve... one day early... but really that time... backwards/forwards one day... time hole...

Fried our monitor. Burned the end of the extension cord from the Christmas lights running into the garage. Burned the power strip. No power in the bathroom outlets. Phone lines are down...fried I guess. I think we took direct hit. Diagnosing right now. Fried my brain too:)

That was a little too close for me. Someone was watching over us...I consider us very lucky. I can still hear the sound and the brightness in our backyard...scary.

Shoot. Didn't realize it screwed up your house so bad. Sorry :(

When I fed Winston this evening he shot a spark at Porkie on the way to the garage then dematerialized himself and appeared in the garage... and I swore I heard him chanting in Latin.
