take cover

there was a huge storm last week. on thursday night. huge. i went to my parents house for mother's birthday. i got there just when the storm was rollin' in. we watched the storm from the living room. with the crazy weather people declaring we were in for it. also mentioned and showed footage from the airport. brother was on his way from that very location. the storm lasted like thirty minutes and was really just clouds and a lot of rain. i found a mr. worm when venturing outside. spotted a rainbow. and captured the sunset.

on the way home. there was a nice lightning show. i say show. because it was very pretty. the shapes and ways it can light up the sky. fascinating. until i was struck. well i say this. might be a stretch. but i was driving along the open road. trying not to hydroplane. when i see this huge bolt of lightning hit a field. right by the highway. to the left of me. 100 yards. my hands kind of buzzed on the steering wheel. a bit of a jolt. and then the radio faded out. and made an odd beep sound. so. going to just say i felt it. and survived. ha. the beep happened one more time during the drive home. too bad inbloom wasnt along for some awesome video footage.
