Re: T.S. DENNIS visits TN

Well Daryl - you don't have to be in a hurricane's path for disaster
to strike.  A little pocket storm popped up in Kaufman late this
afternoon.
Lightning hit my friends Elaine & Mike's business.  Burned to the
ground - total loss.  Plus their motor home, boat, tractor & her late
mother's car that were all in the warehouse.  Thank God she was across
the street at A-Box & he had just gone to Home Depot.  Firemen told us
anyone who had been in the building (metal) would have been
electrocuted or incinerated.   What a bloody awful mess.  I'm still in
shock.
And it didn't even rain here (10 miles away) can you believe it?
