... the eerie silence of 4 computers, 2 printers & 2 monitors being turned off for the first time in years...
The storm was MAJOR cool. But the best was over by the time we'd turned the computers off. One strike was so close that the initial crack was distinct & crackly, and the rumble came a few seconds later & felt like a 4.0 quake! I was very surprised that the electricity didn't go out.
