Had a storm pass through a little while ago. There were 3 or 4 loud claps of thunder. One of them almost came close to knocking everything out.

We did lose power for a few seconds during the storm.

Sounds like the same storm that went through here last night! We had a close one here, too. Lights and tv flickered.

The rain was great though! :)

Cute! Having to work on Friday AND Saturday sort of dampens my enthusiasm, though. LOL!

I just noticed the date is June 19th. On this day in 1972, I raised my right hand to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. We now have the enemy living in the white hut at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC.
