Re: Ah, spring...
Doncha just love spring in the south? We're supposed to get it tomorrow.
Last weekend it was 27, today's supposed to be 75. Tomorrow we're supposed
to get blown away.
You're a brave man to go out right after a strike. I've been hit by
lightning twice, and run inside now at the faintest rumble.

Subject: [CHAT] Ah, spring...
Was awakened at 3 AM this morning by a thunderstorm. At 3:05, we had a
lightning strike--so close I could hear it sizzle and there was no
separation between flash and boom; they arrived simultaneously. I think I
levitated, right up and out of the bed. Next thing I knew, I was in the
kitchen and I'm sure I didn't touch the floor to get there. I've got no
idea what, if anything, it hit. Cautiously, I went outside, smelled the
ozone, and looked around. No damage, no fires, no nothing that I could
see. I know, at 3 AM you can't see much, even with a flashlight. So I went
back in, made a pot of coffee, and down-loaded the NYTimes crossword.
