Thunderstorm!

Last night there was the most intense thunderstorm I've been through. It started an hour before sunset with dense dark thunderheads rolling slowly towards the house from the south. i sat outside in the screened room to watch the lightning, and it was a spectacular show with lightning bolts shooting into the ocean and lighting the entire sky. However, at one point a bolt of lightning struck the ground somewhere between Michael and Sylvia's property and our house. I jumped high, ran inside and shut the door, and proceeded to watch the show from the safety of my bed! It lasted for hours and there were several additional strikes very close to the house. I finally fell asleep and woke up to a clear, humid day. It looks more are coming this evening.
