Re: T.S. DENNIS visits TN

I cannot imagine anything worse than being in a metal building that's hit by lightning! What a relief your friends were no inside. They're for sure on my prayer list.

Good grief, Pam.  That's terrible.  I'm just glad your friends are OK.

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?

ugly flashbacks from Agnes in '72, so I understand.
