Electrical storms are awesome. Lights out. Candles maybe. Warm comforter. Sound of rain on the glass.

... 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.

(Transplanted midwesterner here being nostalgic for exciting weather - can you tell?)

My favorite storm left the power off overnight. I was in a library. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't even see the door. Rates right up there with snow days.
