Last night, when I was reading my email, I clicked on a message to read it, and then there was a "click" and a "zap" and a "kaboom" almost simultaneously, which I immediately knew was a lightning strike because the kaboom was thunder, so I hit the switch and turned off the computer. Went outside to see if the house had been struck by lightning, and I don't think it was, but the strike was close enough that the car alarm on a car across the street went off. Oddly, there was no rain, but it started within a minute or two. Then there was a regular old thunder and lightning storm. This was especially strange because usually the storms come from the west, and roll down the Blue Ridge mountains, which aren't so far away, and you can hear the storm coming because it sounds like giants bowling in a big bowling alley, getting closer and closer, until it rolls through, and then keeps rolling. Today it is hot, and humid, but at least we have been having rain. If we have a drought, I will have to water not only the vegetable garden, but all the fruit trees and berry bushes.
